I’m not sure about his insistence on teaching comme rule in class. I don’t think knowing comma rule is fundamental. And anyone who wants to learn grammar can look it up. The information is freely available online. But I agree that education is not about teching it’s about creating jobs for academic professionals. Money is the most fundamental topic in our society. But I don’t remember ever being in a classroom where how money works was explained.

> I’m not sure about his insistence on teaching comme rule in class. I don’t think knowing comma rule is fundamental. And anyone who wants to learn grammar can look it up. The information is freely available online. It's explained in TFA: you teach them to take a moment to ensure everyone is properly exposed to the knowledge. Why do people continually act surprised when something that is supposed to have been taught simply isn't?
