7th grade.

About 1960.

We had English grammar and sentence construction (diagramming) infused into us for a whole year!

That has served me well, to this day.

Me too. 7th grade, 1962. Mr. Doane, the only male teacher in a school full of nuns and a few laypersons.

I don’t know when they quit teaching sentence diagramming. That and formal English grammar should still be taught, from elementary grades through high school.
