I sat next to a lass at Glory Days this evening, watching the Redskins squeak out a 20-17 win. 
 
The young lady is in her second year teaching 5th grade, including English. I asked her if the past perfect is taught to 5th graders. Her reply: What's the past perfect? 
 
The young man next to her has taught 3rd grade at the same school for five years. He chimed in with, What's the past perfect?
 
54% of incoming college freshmen need remedial English.
