    So sad. Make sure your 5th grader corrects it and gives it back. Maybe proper spelling could be the 7th Pillar Of Character.

    I like the second to last one. However the “u” and “o” are fairly close together but not close enough.

    Perhaps No Child Left Behind should be expanded to No Teacher Left Behind?

    I work in education. You may be sadly surprised at how many teachers can’t spell or don’t know how to use proper English.

      My roommate is planning to become a teacher. I’m her dictionary/thesaurus/grammar/idea/structure person. And I’m not even thinking about teaching. Maybe it’s a good thing she’s going into math…

      I’m very disappointed in the upcoming teachers… they have no concept for language anymore.

      As a former English teacher, I have always been appalled at the number of educators who make mistakes on papers that go home to parents. Although the ones that set my blood boiling were usually the ones my administrators made!

    Do we even want to know what the definition of “cummunication” is?

    • Steph on December 16th, 2008 at 4:24 pm

      I’m thinking we certainly DO NOT want to know!!

    • Odorikakeru on December 16th, 2008 at 4:35 pm

      I’m not sure, but if we’re teaching it to fifth graders then education has certainly changed since my day!

      I’m pretty sure that cummunication is practiced by cunning linguists. ;-)

    I think that any teacher that believes that cummumication is the key for 5th graders ought to be fired immediately

    • minimimitchi on February 7th, 2009 at 5:47 pm

      most teachers think that 5th graders cummunicate/communicate too much.

  7. dim on December 17th, 2008 at 12:45 am

    Open your mouth, I’m ready to cummunicate.

    When is Firday?

    I’m guessing that there is one (possibly two) missing Pillar(s) of Character. My theory here is that this list of Pillars was originally distributed to the teachers from their administrators (hence all of the FAIL), was actually originally six Pillars in number, and one (as I said, perhaps two) of the Pillars was inapropriate to fifth-grade students. The teacher then thought that these would be good to pass along to the students, with the exception of the inappropriate Pillar(s) which they censored. The errors were left intact because, after all, the aministrators wouldn’t have sent out a memo with faulty spelling and grammar, now would they have?

    • minimimitchi on February 7th, 2009 at 5:48 pm

      aministrators? YOU FAIL!

  10. plus4db on December 18th, 2008 at 2:09 pm

    Classic, total failure. This was not an English or Grammar teacher, I hope.

    • heh man on December 19th, 2008 at 7:45 pm

      In that case, then that made slow is not different in the night.

  11. minimimitchi on February 7th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
