I did try to teach subordinate clauses to my insubordinate Trainee Father Christmases! It wasn’t a great success, though it was the clauses rather than the Clauses that were the problem, if you see what I mean. Some of them were better at it than I was. Nick came in towards the end to help, but as he turned out not to have the faintest idea, he wasn’t much assistance. However, happily he is now convinced that we should drop this stuff from the curriculum, though we are keeping Spelling and the basic grammar stuff. It is such a relief!
Grumbo is quite indecently pleased that Miss MacGrammar has gone to Aberystwyth, especially as it was the result of his suggestion. Secretly, I must admit the atmosphere is less tense without her, but you didn’t hear me say that, did you!
