English fail at my wife's school

[CRXican]

kill them all

Once again I'm thankful for the district I teach in. My sophomores aren't anywhere near that bad.

Even being dyslexic it is mind boggling. They must have done the mistakes on purpose right? I mean it isn't even close to phonetic.. and a type-oh seems difficult with pen and paper..

 

[purbeast0]

they were probably just fucking with your wife because she assigned a stupid ass assignment to her sophomore students of 'write 5 sentences'

 

[DangerAardvark]

High school? Dear god, that's like a bad day in 3rd grade.

That would be an awesome name for a horror movie.

That would be an awesome name for a horror movie.

And of course it opens up the franchise for at least 9 sequels.

Ah lol well mosquitoes is excusable, since it's spelled stupidly...

The rest is lol though. But really, how can you expect someone to know how to spell when nearly every single word processing program has a spell check.

No one reads any more either. I'm an avid reader and I've learned new words (how to spell them and their definitions) just by reading.

I'm hoping that's not out of Utica Community Schools or Chippewa Valley Schools.

My wife had a parent email her within the past week or so. She fowarded it to me, I'll post it tomorrow once I get to my work email. I wouldn't even label it ebonics it was 20 times worse.

At my wife's school they have a short assignment to do at the start of class called bellwork. Recently wife (Math Teacher) had them write 5 sentences. (Once a week every teacher must include some writing bell-work to try and improve their spelling/grammar.) Here are some of the responses:

-We didnt have know bellwork monday
-We didnt do work witch isn good
-I don know what she was tryna do
-I hate garbein noms (garden gnomes)
-(Two years ago) I was sad because my gammy pasted away. I went to the funarl and my cuzin was thier
-I hate maskitoes (Mosquitoes)
-I like Ohio Better Because Ceder Point their and i leik going thier

These are direct quotes from sophomores in High School and for just this one assignment

"There" spelled two different ways, and both wrong, in the same SENTENCE. Epic!

At least I think it's wrong since I can't really tell what they're saying.

That's all we get from the Grammar Nazi?

At the minimum I was expecting a nuke it from orbit.

meh...it was posted to show the fail...no sense going on a rant about piss-poor grammar in such a thread...although when those same "morans" post here, you know I'm on them like ugly on an ape...😛

Very soon, these kids will have to compete with other kids around the world.

Ahh, the future of America.

How do you even answer that? I have no idea what she is wanting to know.

I would honestly tell her to ask a question in English.

How do these people find jobs?

"I'm sorry, I don't understand. Could you please rephrase the question in coherent English? Thank you."

Sadly, ESL folks I know have impeccable grammar - they just don't speak well.

Had a grammar test in my ENC1102 class, The two highest grades were achieved by people who came to this country only a few years ago.. lol

 

[Powermoloch]

Somebody gotta help these kids !

In my college-level courses, I'm always apprehensive about giving my students any homework assignment that they have to answer in essay form. Half of these 1st and 2nd year college kids can't write a coherent paragraph if their lives depend on it. Some would write a paragraph like how they would talk about it 🙁 Most of them have so much problem with expressing their thoughts in a concise and cohesive manner.

I wouldn't be. If they can't do it, they get it wrong and fail. They don't deserve to graduate from college if they can't do that.

Most of the time they don't.
