  1. Could someone explain the difference between a phrase ( doesn't contain a verb and subject?) and a clause ( contains a tensed verb and a subject?).

    When do phrases end and begin? I can't for the life of me figure this out.

    Example: the sentence contains marking for Prepositional phrase=PP, RRC= restrive relative clause, & an Appostive


    Hillary Clinton went through 15 years [of this stuff]-PP [before becoming, [under Obama]-PP, [the woman everyone loves]-Appositive, a woman [whom Chris Cillizza just dubbed "the new Teflon Clinton."]-RRC]-PP


    I don't understand why before becoming is a large prepositional phrase compared to the other markings.
    I took out the markings to show that the entire sentence is marked as a prepositional phrase.

    [before becoming, under Obama, the woman everyone loves, a woman whom Chris Cillizza just dubbed "the new Teflon Clinton."]-PP
  2. Thank you DrKrettin, I took your advice and revised some of the questions. Did I accuractely follow what you asked to look for? Also, is there anything else that needs revision?

    1.Were I a polemicist, I might say what I was after is a pragmatic pedagogy, one grounded in "the arts of complicity, duplicity, and compromise," the very same arts that are deployed, with such enervating effect, by the host of social, bureaucratic and corporate institutions that govern all our lives.

    2.Between the poles of these two representations of schooling as either radically liberating and empowering or ceaselessly oppressive and instrumentalist, one finds a vast, unexplored territory--the fraught, compromised world where all of our classes are actually convened.

Thus, we are quick to cover our own ignorance, talk over our own confusion, hide our own doubts about the rewards of learning because, if we act otherwise, we would risk rending education's public transcript by exposing the highly credentialed person at the front of the room as nothing more than a fraud.
