Problems with teachers’ notes?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A parent shared an email written by her child’s summer school teacher. The note was friendly and encouraged parents to contact her if they have any questions. It also contained several grammatical and spelling errors.
This isn’t the first time parents have pointed out this problem to me. I’ve seen it myself in the emails teachers write commenting on articles or suggesting story ideas.
Many of us admit we have poor grammar and horrible spelling skills. So why do so many of us get concerned when we see these same faults in teachers?
Can you respect a teacher with poor grammar? Do you worry he or she won’t be a good teacher?
