Excelsior! Academy Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Dd 13 has done Rod and Staff since 3rd grade. She is now in 8th and was doing substansives the other day. You know the ones, where you diagram on a pedestal? Well, she looks at me and says, "What's a direct object?" :001_huh: I had to spend 2 WHOLE DAYS explaining the difference between a direct object and a predicate nominative. to. an. 8th. grader. :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam L in Mid Tenn Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I had a meltdown this week because my 7th grader could not tell me what a noun was or id the subject in a sentence. I don't think it is forgotten... just buried beneath the thoughts of summer. :) Review a few weeks, reteach the material a little bit and eventually it will (or should) be there again!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
