Re: Things you wish you'd learned in school

More of the nuts and bolts of the English language (as a native speaker). Things like diagraming sentences and repeated drilling on what different tenses are named. English teachers acted like we all knew this already when it hadn't been taught, or was taught once and not re-inforced. It was embarassing in French class when the teacher would say "Here's how you conjugate the such-and-such tense..." and I didn't know how to use it in a sentence because I didn't know what that tense was for.

In my daily life, I don't actually need to know this stuff - as long as I can communicate well, I don't need to know all of the terms - but at time I felt teachers were just skipping over this but still expecting us to agically know it and that was very unfair.

The only reason I learned tenses was studying Spanish. It's frustrating because in middle school we did learn a bit but then you get to high school and it focused only on reading books and writing essays as opposed to learning the actual construction of the language.

(Especially since every Spanish teacher switched between calling it in the Spanish tense versus the English tense so I don't honestly remember what the names of the tenses all are anyway in English)
