A substitute teacher working at an Iowa high school was taken off the sub list a few weeks after telling students that they had horrendous grammar during class.
S. Keyron McDermott opened up her piece in a local newspaper saying the high school terminated her last fall for telling students that their grammar skills were subpar – by around 10 years.
“Last Halloween, I dressed up like a teacher – not exactly an alter ego; I have a certificate – went to the local high school, and substituted in Family & Consumer Science,” McDermott wrote in an op-ed for the Des Moines Register. “There was a small ruction in third period; the principal and I discussed it amicably, and I barely gave it second thought.”
I'm what?
Believing she had done absolutely nothing wrong or beyond her limits as a high school teacher, McDermott was shocked any disciplinary action over the “incident” was taken – let alone a termination.

I don’t know why it happens. It happens to me sometimes, so I figure the mouse switch is dirty.............
Jack can get his own damn horse off..............
My first thought..............
Never tell schoolkids they are wrong. Always remember 1+1 = Whatever each particular kid thinks it is.
Most substitute teachers are just expected to be babysitters. Play a movie, read to the class, do something to be entertaining. Actual teaching is usually not expected of them.
Numbers be racist...................
You can’t talk that way about kids’ grandmas and expect to get away with it.
Liberals want to teach to the lowest common denominator.
Public schools are the result.
Is she hawt?
The teacher had a ruction?
I didn't think it was one of THOSE teacher-student threads...

Most are only there for a couple of days, anyway. I had one that lasted a whole semester. She was a godsend. The regular teacher was an Affirmative Action hire with horrendous English and seemingly little grasp of the subject matter.
I goofed, forgot in those few seconds that I had already posted it.
Remember when a double post would get you yelled at? To say nothing of commenting on it afterward. More bandwidth got burned by the scolds than by all of the double posts.
Sadly no....most don’t know proper grammar to begin with.
My kid’s third grade teacher did not know how to perform long multiplication without a calculator.
She had been teaching it incorrectly in her classroom for 10 years.
The Principal told me to let it go; any attempt to correct the error would result in an “uproar” with the union.
We pulled our kid out of that school.
“She’s in the kitchen washing dishes.”
Back in 88 or 89, a guy subbed for the auto mechanics teacher.
I remember he was a retired army colonel.
The class before ours went wild. Broken headlights on a school truck, oil dry poured down a carb. Probably other mischief knowing that crowd of delinquents.
The whole time the guy was laughing at the destruction.
A few thousand dollars in damages was the result of him being entertained.
They probably did.
