Mulroy: The Response

Mulroy makes a very convincing argument in his proctection for traditional grammar. I'm starting to contend that it's not what is taught but how it's taught. Mulroy has not yet really layed an argument for this, except by saying that we should use Reed/Kellog diagrams as an aid. To me that's not "how." That is a "what" should be taught. And, I reckon that, in all honesty, teaching theory is not Mulroy's department, but it should be. Critical thinking involves how we approach a problem and how we solve the problem. Now, I am starting more, more to appreciate Mulroy's claim that traditional grammar is necessary to be a succesful reader and writer. Yes, that I will say with flirtation, but Mulroy never gives any plan. He only states what we should teach. I never thought that I would appreciate Mulroy and even respect his knowledge, but the man has won me over enough that I will say yes to his engagement: that traditional grammar makes you a holistic rhetorician.
I hope this relationship works.
