Going way out on a limb here: Has anyone tried Grammaropolis? Looks fun and engaging.

Looking at Simply Grammar by Karen Andreola. Anyone have any experience using this? I've been reading reviews, mostly good, only complaints are the old-style language used at times. Hmmmm....

I have been through several grammar curriculums in the past few years and cannot understand why we have to diagram sentences and memorize all the different parts of grammar and how to use them. Can't we just simply learn good writing skills from reading quality literature? Why do we have to know that there are 9 different types of adjectives? When my child asks me, "When am I ever going to use this?" and "Why do I have to know this?" and I can't legitimately give her an answer other than, "Because you do", why exactly are we forcing this upon our students? She is an avid reader and writer, but hates grammar studies. Does anyone else out there simply not teach grammar and just allow it to come naturally from quality reading and writing?

Has anyone used Oak Meadow's World Geography course or Trail Guide to World Geography? I'm looking a both for my upcoming 9th grader next year. They both look good!
