But they don't teach them in an extensive way. Nor do they use
them as a foundation for integrated grammar curriculum that
continues through higher grades.
I recall a going as far as as count, mass, abstract, and concrete
nouns, and auxiliary verbs in another context. But even these
seem like they were a very brief mentioning.
I don't think that grammar is a systematic part of the curriculum,
like arithmetic, bio, etc. Or if it is, then hey! we've won!
