A parent in Arlington, Virginia, slammed the teachers’ union in the state by editing an error-ridden letter that demanded officials delay reopening schools and posted the corrected version on social media.
“Hey @VEA4Kids, are you going to send out more of these grammar worksheets over break?” the parent wrote on Twitter. “My kids and I had a great time spotting errors! Did we find them all?”
The parent rewrote the lead sentence, which includes strange descriptions and the incorrect style for the planned return to school date:
“On behalf of the members of the Arlington Education Association, this dire expression lends great concerns for Arlington Public Schools return plans for January 3rd, 2022.”
Addressed to Arlington Schools Superintendent Dr. Francisco Duran, the letter cites the rise in omicron coronavirus cases and demands a delay in starting in-classroom learning.
The Arlington parent shredded the teachers’ union letter with approximately 20 sloppy errors. Twitter/@ellenfgallery
The parent, who obviously has some expertise in writing and editing, found more than 20 blunders in the five-paragraph letter.
Aside from rewriting some poorly written sentences, the parent points out the misuse of some words — “are” instead of “our,” for example.

Get your kids away from these people!
“New school” education.
Grammar is a code word for white supremacy.
Grammar is too old to go to school.
Come on! Give her a break! It was a long, arduous trek for her to get here from her ‘native country’ and break through our ‘rock-solid’ Southern Border! English is NOT her first language, so all things considered, she did pretty good!
*ROLLEYES*

So in summary, the most stupid among us are teaching our kids in public school.
Public schools need to be shutdown.
Seems like a win-win if we don't have to pay them for not teaching, er, if we can call mandatory baby-sitting teaching.
I read the previous thread featuring that photo further down in the thread but the language, grammar, and structure of the letter made it unnecessary, then and now. The source was plain to anybody who has endured such incompetence in any setting.
Teachers don’t want to teach. Just mail their checks to them.
Oh, you know what I mean!
She who can does. She who can’t do much of anything else works at a government training center.
LOL, don’t those parents know that using proper grammar and spelling is racist and a prime example of White Supremacy?
Nicole Hannah-Jones says parents should defer to the expertise of teachers. I recall years ago that teachers in NY were required to pass a basic literacy test to get a license. So many candidates failed, the test was scrapped. It would be interesting to require current public school teachers pass a literacy test.
Explains why the Chinese are kicking our butts.
Good golly homies...can’t you reed? This was written in Ebonics.
“Those who can, do!”
“Those who can’t, teach!”
“Those cannot do either, administer!”
No! “This be writed im ebonics!”
Hah! I need a refresher course!
Parent in Lincoln, California, tells the School Board off! Enjoy and share.
