I was taught grammar unsuccessfully in public schools until high school. I went to a private (religious, and not by choice) high school and they were hell bent on us all learning proper grammar. For the most part, I would say our nations bad grammar is due to the fact that we speak more often then we write, so we are not as interested in structure.

I still do not know when to use who vs. whom however. I just use whatever one sounds best in the given context.
