A teacher at my sister’s sons’ school has started sending back letters sent in by the parents with the spelling and graofftopicr corrected.

What would you do? Find it funny or be insulted?

What is you had learning difficulties or had brain damage?

haha that's a funny



I'd think what a bleepytybleepblop, but think it was funny.. I wouldn't feel insulted really, i thinks.


hmm.. i think if that was really the case, i'd need a pretty good sense of humous anyway. I mean himours. HUMOUR.

I would be overjoyed as I despise my own bad graofftopicr and I hate abuse of the possessive apostrophe However, I would attend parents evening with a very large red pen and make the offending pompous teacher very uncomfortable with psychotic stares, past participles and 3rd perfects.

Then I'd finish him off with a progressive aspect

Show up at parent-teacher night and ask what's more important to the teacher... a parent who has impeccable graofftopicr but doesn't give a rat's patootie about how his or her child is doing in school or a parent with mediocre graofftopicr who is desperately trying to make sure his or her child is doing everything possible to succeed in school.

Then I'd sit back with a smug look on my face. And possibly berate the teacher more. Then put my child in cyber school for the rest of the semester until he/she gets a real teacher.

I'd write a letter in response, telling the teacher to "go fornicate him/herself with an iron stick". Of course, I would fornicate wrong. Possibly "fournicate".

I'm a teacher and I'm wondering 1. why they have done this 2. how they have had the time to do something like this and 3. why the parents haven't complained to the school.

I would be particularly annoyed if it happened to someone I know. The teacher has no clue about the educational background of the parents and more so it is nothing to do with them. They would be getting a phone call if it happened to me, it is a blatant insult from someone with an obvious superiority complex.

Anyone out there recieve a letter recently from a school? I'll see if I can dig a couple out. I was going to correct them and send them back to the school but my wife, the sensible one (as if you didn't know), suggested it might not be a good idea.

Practically speaking it seems like a terrible idea. I mean, aren't teachers struggling all the time to get parents to pay attention and do things like write notes? I'd send the note to the principle and pull my kid from the school.

All right, it wouldn't take much for me to pull my kids from a school given I've never been able bring myself to send them in the first place.

Since the closest thing my kids have to a teacher is my partner, if I got a note back corrected I would, in fact, kick him in the head.

I second this motion - I'm a teacher, and I barely have time to correct the poor graofftopicr in the childrens' work, let alone fix the parents' mistakes!!

I'm sorry but when I here teachers moaning about not having enough time it make me want to puke. Living in the real world, having done about 50 hours already this week I think you need a reality check. I agree you are underpaid for one of the most important jobs in the world but the hours you put in over a year are miniscule compared to most folks these days.
