A friend who was an elementary school english teacher at one of the better schools on Long Island was called into the principal's office. The teachers were expected to write a letter to the parents of every student, informing the parents of the progress of their children. My friend was suprised by the summons and went to the office.

The principal was used to having to correct the spelling and grammer of every teacher at the school (she was an english major in college, and a former english teacher), and only my friend's letters needed no correction. My friend was shocked by the admission, but then, she was an english major as well, for both undergraduate and graduate course work. She's also a perfectionist. She's now a "stay at home mother," and is seriously thinking about home schooling her daughter.
