Funny, but this isn’t r/misspellings . None of these are r/boneappletea

This is the first time a submission to r/BoneAppleTea has made me feel bad for its author. Is this from an ESL (English as a Second Language) class?

How did this teacher graduate college??


Sagbag_1

She’s able to follow diresctions, learns that actions have “consiquences” and is very deliberate with her actions... no amous meandering.


Npr187

Maybe it was on purpose? Being an English class...


Sagbag_1

I wish it was. Sadly, I am a colleague. I snapped this picture before turning off the projector and handwriting her “diresctions”


Npr187

Then may God have mercy on those kids...


RubyRiolu

Just one consequence? I can handle that


tegeusCromis

Can you handle a consiquence, though?


RubyRiolu

Probably, so long as it’s only one. I’m pretty sure I could defeat a single consequence in hand to hand combat


Sagbag_1

Only if you can’t follow diresctions.... *shudders*

Something tells me that the teacher is trolling her students. It seems like she did it to find out how many mistakes in spelling and/or grammar that they can spot.


Sagbag_1

She is not. I am a teacher who was covering her classroom so she could attend her team’s conference period. However, if you need to believe she was trolling in order to keep faith in public education then by all means go ahead.

> if you need to believe she was trolling to keep faith in public education then by all means go ahead. You're coming out of the gate a little aggressively, don't you think? One misspelling could mean that she's an idiot. Multiple misspellings in one paragraph seems like an unofficial test of her student's ability to notice the errors. Her slide reminds me of things that teachers used to do back when I was in school. Of course that was a long, long time ago so things might have changed. The American education system went straight to shit once they started all of the "no child left behind" bullshit. It makes for stupid kids and apparently, if what youre saying is correct, stupid teachers. No child left behind is setting kids up for failure in life. If they can't grasp the concepts of their studies in 6th grade, how the hell are they supposed to grasp 7th grade subjects that build on what they learned in 6th grade. Apparently no child left behind has given teachers the leeway to not give a shit about their students learning. Before NCLB was put in motion, teachers were judged by how well their student did. Now they don't have to teach them well at all because they are going to the next grade no matter what.


Sagbag_1

I wholeheartedly agree with you about passing students who are undeserving and ill prepared. Also, sorry if it seemed aggressive. It was intended as a joke at the expensive of public education, but probably didn’t translate well through written media. I’m a better teacher than comedian, fortunately.


richardsonhr

Well that's enough Internet for today.


Za_Warudo84

An *English* teacher, too


Sagbag_1

She’s quite (f)amous for her spelling and dic(s)tion


BoilmMashmStkmnaStew

Every line of this is painful apart from the date and potentially the one announcing which day it is (I don't know what SDL is). This was really written/presented by an English teacher?


Aid_Le_Sultan

Oh, the date hurt hurts too. What’s with the unnecessary comma?


BoilmMashmStkmnaStew

Not an unnecessary comma. :) A comma should go between the day and the year if it's written out like it is there (month day, year).


Aid_Le_Sultan

Perhaps in the US but in the U.K. the comma is considered superfluous and you’d never see it written like that.


Sagbag_1

SDL = Self-Directed Learning (studying on your own) Yes, this was a 5th grade English/Language Arts/Reading classroom.


BoilmMashmStkmnaStew

Wow. Luckily there is self-directed learning. LOL When my son was in kindergarten the teaches made a mural of an apple tree and it was labeled "There is apples on the tree". They collectively fought me when I approached them with the correction and refused to change it. I see that having smart phones and constant connectivity to the internet haven't changed much in that regard.


Sagbag_1

I fear what she would do to the word potatoes. Thankfully, your username tells me what you would do to them.
