Yep.

What does it say when in two days a teacher exhausts the ink in his red pen? Since a nation cannot be “ignorant and free," as Thomas Jefferson put it, it perhaps means we face a threat graver than the Red Menace.
Apathetic or even hostile students, dumbed-down tests, often incompetent and ideologically driven teachers, Cracker Jack-box degrees, morally toxic curricula, revisionist history, the new math — education has collapsed in America. And one of the sincere educators, wandering amidst the rubble, recently provided a window into this academic apocalypse.

Because they're in unions, and their legislative RAT buddies kill every bill that allows any diversion of the flood of taxpayer dollars to the filthy educRATs and their gilded monuments to themselves.
Stupid citizens are a dictator’s dream. RATS love low-info voters who can be bought off with trinkets.
Written by a student but even tho’ it doesn’t say so, I would bet it’s a foreign student - it would only be fair to clarify it if it is. It fits in with other stuff written by foreigners who believe they are speaking/writing good English.
“”Attached is the actual outline for my ruff raft. Please, account this as credit therefore I’ll prove my academic progression as acknowledgment for satisfactory of the course. The presentation shall be captivating with visualization being a current pet owner of a fish too!””
Like a blogger that can’t make his thesis statement in the first 10 pages. Dumb.
“We are witnesses an increasing rare phenomena.”
Wow, three grammatical errors in a seven-word sentence. FR leads the way!
Could be. On the other hand, maybe the student doesn’t pay attention until the 10th time. My point was that one must master a concept before moving on.
It sounds as if the student is going to do a presentation, with pictures, on the subject of his pet fish.
I am blessed that I found a Charter school in my area for my kids, quite a drive, but so worth it. My third grader is learning Latin now.
I don’t know...my grandson scored a 32 on the ACT and he’s for Bernie, thank goodness he’s only 17.
The ratings thing did shock me. My granddaughter gave them all good ratings.
My granddaughter was a little miffed this weekend because she and her aunt are in the same class and they had a very involved paper due, GD did it, aunt didn’t, aunt messages the prof, he delays the date until Wed.
A professor just told my granddaughter yesterday that a paragraph can be one sentence?
He’s right. Read some Faulkner.
While “who” and “whom” are preferred, “that” is acceptable in identifying relative clauses.
Seems to me; their policies are succeeding. Just as they planned. Unfortunately.
“He’s right. Read some Faulkner.”
Or punctuation (e e cummings).
Good plan. When they can’t run, make them walk, if they stumble there, force them to crawl until they can prove they’re ready to get back up. I’ll have to remember that for my kids.
Those who can do, do.
Those who can’t do, teach.
I hate that saying. I won't deny that teaching is an easy profession. I have taught over 50 different courses (mostly undergraduate mathematics) while I was a professor. My first job was as a draftsman before AutoCAD. However, I quickly learned that I could make more money tutoring Physics, Calculus, and Physical Chemistry than doing drafting work. In the late 70’s I made up to $25/hour tutoring. I have also been a Store Manager, consultant, and I have testified three times in Federal court as an expert witness. I have made $10,000 in one hour because I could solve a problem that stumped over a hundred engineers. As an applied mathematician, I have created thousands of new formulas in mathematics, and I have written several papers in mathematics.
Some of us can teach and do.
However, I am not qualified to teach in a high school because I do not have(or want) a degree in education. The first step in improving our schools is to get rid of the education departments at every university, and make the teachers get a real academic degree.

Okay, yes but why would an assignment ask for a paragraph when a sentence will do. I’m not talking about novels or poetry, I’m talking about schoolwork.
