Ron, let the gulag HAVE the books. They are probably full of PC lies and CRAP anyway as are most modern books. Did you read the article? These are not books for kids to actually READ. They aren't supposed to be actually READING anyway. We KNOW the gulag does not educate.These books are for TEACHERS to plan CURRICULUMS. They sneer with disdain at kids shoving USED books into backpacks to READ individually.

Homeschoolers need to go to the thrift stores and library book sales (that POOR people are too stupid to know to do????) and get the GOOD books, the classics being dumped by the truckload, the old reading texts from before the worst of the great dumbing down, Bibles.

JS,
Amen, I never could grasp grammar. On the contrary I loved literature, mathematics and the other liberal arts subjects.
Finally in a fit of somekind I searched out and bought one of the standard grammar texts of a hundred yeas ago - or was it 150 years ago?
That was much, much better but still fell short. Finally I discussed the matter with a girl buddy that was an engineering graduate before the depression hit. She pointed out that what we usually call "grammar" consists of two major divisions and that the rules change depending on the context. That fact is always assumed but never explained in my experience.
Thus armed I went back to the books and tackled them again. I found that my friend's two division analysis was correct but that even the writers of grammar texts can never keep that simple fact straight.
