This sounds like something that BOTH the elementary and the
senior levels of grammar teaching can take an interest in.
I hope that the elementary teachers do not start a separate
listserve.
If the listserve as is hasn't been hospitable enough to elementary
interests then we should start.
I would ask the elementary set to give us another chance: post in
with some practical questions and give us another chance to
propose a practical answer!
