Good grief Engine82, while your sentiments are sound, your grammar is lacking. Do you teach in a publik skool?

[Engine82]

I am a middle school technology education teacher. Please do not confuse typo's (is instead of in) with bad grammar. I do struggle with writing however. That is why I do not teach language arts (LOL).

Well, my weakness is math! We all have our shortcomings!

Just yesterday I had to rescue a young cashier at Walgrens who was about to have a stroke from the stress of making change from the $20 I gave her for a prescription.

The other day I spent $11.19 at the grocery and asked for $40.00 back with my ATM payment. The clerk got out a pencil and paper and scribbled for a while. I thought she was going to cry, but the supervisor came by and rescued her.

You may find this of interest.

I want to smack their teachers for letting this get by, the school system for letting it get by, and their parents for not wanting their children to be smarter and more successful than themselves.

Thanks very much for the flag on this, PogySailor. Yes, it is of interest to me! :)
