Unfortunately, the current generation have also had to suffer the consequences for what they failed to learn during school years - grammar was something we had to re-learn whilst doing the pgce. It seems a lot of us knew how to use it, but failed to understand the reason for it's application. Unfortunately, some teachers still avoid teaching it in class, due to a lack of knowledge... I've made a conscious effort to teach myself grammar because I also missed out on it during school years, which means I'm learning alongside the kids! 😆
