What do I need to do to enable this type of grammar checking?
I installed Lightproof grammar checker for en-US and enabled Possible mistakes in the options, but it doesn't detect any error for "who are blah blah blah" or "The students, who are, after all, just learning too".

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

when I checked into it further, it seems this may be a problem with the language checker extension (https://www.languagetool.org/contribute/) rather than libreoffice.  I am marking this resolved-notourbug and will take it up with the language tools folks.
