My mother taught me correct grammar from the time I could talk. I knew the parts of speech when I was four. She drilled grammar into us as well as spelling. She taught me more than any of my teachers. I have done the same with my kids. My son (who is not well-educated) knows his grammar and sometimes corrects his friends around me. LOL
I don’t understand how kids can graduate from college but not be able to write a paragraph with correct spelling and grammar. I am certainly not perfect, but as least I can get the basics right!
Always tread lightly when lecturing on others' grammar. An error is inevitable.

“I have done the same with my kids.”
This also used to be unacceptable. The correct terminology used to be:
I have done the same with my children.

Me too. You have to, schools don't diagram sentences anymore.
