I agree.

I did not meet my wife until I was in my late 30s. I dated a lot of different ladies looking for Mrs Right. Many of those past dates were school teachers. One learned American sign language to teach deaf children. She was amazing and deafness is a horrible impediment to learning. It makes everything really difficult for the kid.

One lady was a teacher at a private religious school. Her classroom was orders of magnitude better than the public schools I went to. I saw some of the homework assignments she gave her 4th grade students and I was amazed at the level, of knowledge. They were at better than the average high school kid I saw from other teachers I dated.

I am sure glad I don't need to date anymore. 20 years or so of dating was enough.

20 years of dating was enough? Damn Glen I got married at 22, I surrendered after 6!

Can you get more writing samples, and present them to us as puzzles to solve?

Glenn didn't commit to his car until he had driven it for ten years...

That's not butchering the language...that's Ebonics! ("American black English regarded as a language in its own right rather than as a dialect of standard English.")

And don't be too critical of it either, or you'll be labeled a racist.

Yes. Right to work state.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The head of Oklahoma’s largest teachers union praised Gov. Kevin Stitt on Monday for moving school personnel to phase two of the vaccine distribution plan, but she warned the governor that forcing schools to return to in-person learning next month could jeopardize the safety of public school workers.

During a news conference, Oklahoma Education Association President Alicia Priest also released details of an informal survey of more than half its members that show 63% believe schools are not safe for in-person instruction. The governor, who has pushed an aggressive reopening plan, has said his goal is to have all public schools offer in-person classes after the Christmas break.

Right to work state is what makes the difference I guess.

OP, how tuned into the lesson were you? Perhaps the teacher misspelled those words on purpose as it may have been part of the lesson. No teacher's ability to spell could be that atrocious. Seriously.

^^^^The lesson was for kindergarten level. The discussion was on sentence structure. Ms bivenator is very tuned, perhaps tuned tighter than a piano wire in some cases.

My wife has applied to work in the same district as a substitute. A bachelors degree is one of the requirements. Stunning.
