    I've never diagrammed a sentence in my life. In my case, it has
    certainly been irrelevant to learning how to write. But it's in our
    coursebook, so I am going to have to teach it. Along with lists of
    vocabulary out of context. I don't have any choice in the matter.
    Maybe one day I shall be in charge of policy-making, but not yet. So
    for me, and probably for rather a lot of others, the relevance of
    diagramming is irrelevant.

    I am grateful for the book suggestions people have posted in response
    to the original poster's request!
