However, to simply say because your a teacher you can't misspell words ...

Tee hee - "because your you're a teacher..."

There's that pesky grammar thing again.

Well, see, it's like this. This thread is about teaching, teachers, standards, etc., - so shouldn't errors in spelling, grammar and math be held to a higher level?

If the thread were about "global warming" (barf, excuse the example) wouldn't we object to junk science postulations?

Perhaps if I were an English teacher or Math teacher I would perhaps see the point, but alas I am not, I am just a simple history teacher. Accordingly, if I get a historical fact wrong, by all means feel free to jump all over me, which I am sure you will.

I guess I just look at this way, I really don't give a rat's behind if I mispell words on this forum or not. I am not at work at the moment, thank you very much.
