While + clause = subordinate clause. Therefore, we have to add independent clause to the subordinate one.

In the following example from egmat:
a. While going to school, Joe ran into my childhood friend.
In this sentence, “while” presents simultaneous action. Joe was going to school. When this action was happening, something else happens as well. Joe ran into his childhood friend.

--> while is a conjunction that starts a subordinate clause. Therefore, it has to contain full S and V. In the above example, "while going to school" does not have subject, is it incorrect?
Can anyone help me explain this one? Thanks a lot!
