You’re a teacher wondering why you get no respect; perhaps it’s because you’re teaching peoples’ children to write without punctuation……
Or maybe it’s because the parents don’t teach THEIR children manners and how to respect others.
as a teacher u dont spell so well
Spelling nazis are gay.
I’ve heard horror stories about the people hired to ‘help’ teachers that are responsible for the retarded students. The OB is probably too fucked up/stressed to care about spelling.
Everyone here knows the respect I hold for teachers, having been one myself at both high school and college levels.
Therefore I say: “Teacher, get thee to a remedial English class immediately! AND THEN maybe someone will take you, your position, and and your internet posts seriously.”
“and and” ?
You suck too. Hows that feel. Oh, sorry, “how’s”.
DOH!
I KNEW that would happen! I tried to be witty . . . but ya caught me!
But, hey, I did TRY to use correct spelling and punctuation, instead of ignoring it completely.
I wonder if Andy would remove the post so I could try to cover up my shameful error?
*Ahem*

See? I fixed that pesky typo. Darn my hasty typing.

For the love of fuck please tell me you have nothing to do with teaching students how to use language and grammar.
It sounds like she is in “Learning Centre” so she is probably stuck changing 13 year old’s diapers, halting chronic masterbation, and avoiding fists of 200 lb 12 year olds all the while watcher her “EPA’s” (the adults hired by the school board to assist her) sit on their asses and talk like they’ve got 4-6 years of training but don’t have the smarts to actually get into university.
What makes it even better is that she probably doesn’t get any support from the regular classroom teachers, hell, in some cases they probably work against her based on their own personal views about ‘inclusion’. Were you one of those, Rubyjane?
Or maybe respect has to be earned?
i couldn’t even begin to think of how many stories that i can tell you about these so called child aid workers. most are horror stories about taking kids, and putting them in a worse situation than they were in at home. it still gives me the creeps to think that these people actually get paid a salary for being fucking idiots. now i’m not saying all are bad, just the 50 or so that i have crossed paths with a while back. and the thing keeps on keeping on.
and btw, fuck all this fucking crazy punuation bullshit, willyas.
Maybe you should go back to school and take some grammar classes again, dear. This post is just one run on sentence.
Ignore the spelling and grammar assholes. I feel your pain. The worst are parents that actually expect their kids to eventually ‘catch up’, byt yeah, the EPA’s are assholes.
Obviously not an English teacher…
Hi Cranky!
: )
To answer your question, no, I have never been involved in working with the Special Needs kids. We didn’t have the new inclusion policies in schools at that time I was there.
Just the usual mixed bag of “regular” kids in my classes!
I sympathize, however, with the teachers who don’t get the supports they need because it’s a real problem. Working with special needs students is hard, hard work and only a few people can do it really well.
I don’t believe in being a grammar nazi on most web discussions—people are typing fast and just spouting off, so there is a lot of leeway “allowed”—and frankly that is part of the fun.
But I have always believed that good writing is an important skill for teachers (of all people!) to model, hence my frustration at the OP’s unpunctuated, mis-spelled, run-on post!
(And I shall endeavor to keep my posts as correct as possible from this point on, so as not to incur the wrathful delight of others who would enjoy pointing out all my errors!)
Oh, and one other thing:
I myself can’t freely discuss the “inclusion” issue on here.
But others definitely should.
@ lifesucks:
Perhaps child aid workers would be able to do a better job if the parents of some of these special needs children gave two fucks about their childs best interest.
For the record, this does not include all parents, just some.
Damn. I hope you are not teaching English, spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc. No wonder you are not getting any respect. I wonder what the comments on the report cards say. maybe:
“U kid good. PLZ :)”
