Spelling and grammar issues in college should be corrected, I went to college and professors had no problem correcting papers and pointing out grammar issues. It is a function of the instructor to make corrections and to help guide the student to perfection.
By the time a student gets to college, there should be no spelling and grammar issues. Especially today when every word processor has spell-check and grammar-check.
No excuse. Spelling and grammar issues today are signs of either laziness or indifference, qualities which will guarantee unemployment.
Wheeze be don’t needen koreckshuns four gramar.

LOL..I am sure I would have been on the HOT SEAT...
During my time as a CJ Instructor for Community College, most years in HSs for college credit, there were lots of corrections, time in the hall, swiping notes they wrote to each other, and some real tough times for those who acted up or talked while I was talking. I guess it’s good that I don’t teach anymore, as I would be the one called racist or disciplined without pay for making them actually work for a good grade.
Grades are grades....put up or go home is the way I see it.
Why should one person do better or the same as another,
when they are lazy, poorly performing, and intimidating.
I had one of those, he crushed cigarette butts outside of the entry to the campus. His father was a politician. He threatened to have him come down and talk to me. I told him “Please ask him to come down and see me, I was planning to call him about your behavior. And you will get a “D” in this class, if you don’t improve in next couple of weeks”. He was smart but a bully, and lazy.
You see a ‘D’ is passing, but it will NOT transfer to the University... where he wanted to go. As it turned out, I never heard from his father, mother, or other family members. He did not do well the next couple of weeks, and got a ‘D’....And since he wanted to major in CJ, he would have to take that class over.
So much for trying to bully the Instructor
There is either a standard to pass or get a good grade, or there is chaos.
After three car accidents, and a head injury, my grammar and punctuation aren’t what they used to be either.
However, at one time I did have some great students and a few went on to work in the FBI, and other organizations. That was a decade ago. I left due to some leaders, who were far left, and quite adamant about changing things...among other inappropriate behaviors.
We are talking about California here, right? That is not surprising to me about this idea of non performance being alright for those of color.
