All seriousness aside, Plutarch, I like your approach immensely

Now, there is an evasive encomium if every I saw one, TEd Rem.

But I'll bite anyway.

Since what I am advocating is "common sense", I can't take uncommon credit for advocating it, and it might be awkward for you to belittle me for exercising it.

I happen to think that the education system has long since forgotten, if it ever knew, what the object is of grammar and english literature studies.

Rhythm is the key to the power and the beauty of our language. But who teaches rhythm in conjunction with grammar and english literature at any level in our public school system?

Kids get rhythm. Sometimes they get it better than their english teachers. Perhaps most times.

If english teachers treated an unpunctuated sentence like a line of music, it wouldn't be long before the students were teaching the lesson. They'd be rockin' around the classroom clock.

I Googled "educator Paine" and came up with Thomas Paine who
"wrote the pamphlet Common Sense in 1776". Good one, TEd Rem.

I haven't thought of becoming a teacher, TEd Rem, but if I wrote a book on Grammar, I would call it "Rockin' Around the Classroom Clock".

Or, simply, Grammar Rocks.
