Re: Subject / Object / ?

 I really think this depends on the school and the
state and the specific teacher. I hate the way the
Europeans on this list seem to think that ALL American
schools will be horrible, no matter what. Both my
Elimentary School, Middle School and High School
English classes spent time talking about Grammar. And
I knew about Subjects, Objects and all the essential
before I became a conlanger and a linguist. I'd
appreciate a little less broad generalizations.

 Thank you.
