You’re right. So many of the teachers are illiterate and innumerate. It varies tremendously. Some are great but others really bad.

A friend of mine found that out last year. The teacher asked the kids what month it was going to be the next day. My friend’s daughter responded February.

The teacher said “you’re almost right but it’s Feb-u-ary, not Feb-ru-ary.” The woman has apparently been spelling and pronouncing the month incorrectly her entire life. Her spelling and grammar errors are frequent.

And....., the Government worker-teacher’s Union comprises the LARGEST constituency in the Democrat party.

I hate “paving the road to Damascus”, but people need to realize public schools are a covenant with Satan.

According to my dictionary, Feb-u-ary is the preferred pronunciation while Feb-ru-ary is the secondary pronunciation.
