Doesn't anyone ever proof read anything anymore?

[vinnie]

I'm sorry, you guys are absolutely right, enough of this thread BUT...

I was looking at what toecutter posted and the explanation within and

it struck a chord.

I've been a teacher for 21 years and have been in the middle of the

reading arguments "phonics v whole language" on several ocassions.

I wish I would've had that posting before because it certainly makes a

compelling argument for whole language teaching...

Sorry, I'll stop now! :dribble:

Maybe I've been brainwashed by too many years of movies and TV, but the thought of someone named "Vinnie" teaching my grandkids is a scary thought.

Hey, he's my cousin. Don't be bustin' on him! J/K. At least he has good spelling and writing skills.

I think this thread is a perfect example of "intelligently designed evolution."

Esaelp enoemos lett a sinep ekoj

You spelled "tell" wrong.

Anyway,

A man walks into a watch and clock store, unzips his trousers and slaps his cock on the counter.

The woman behind the counter doesn't bat an eyelid.

She looks him straight in the eye and says "Put that away Sir, this is a clock shop - not a cock shop!"

"Well," replies the man, "Why don't you put two hands and a face on it?"

But Dave, Nusman did specificly request a penis joke at that point. Of course since his request was written backwards may be it should have been a . . . . . never mind.

justplain, if you find it scary that someone named Vinnie is teaching your grandkids then...here's something REEEALLY SCARY?

My motto is "Question Authority?"

I never bust them for being out of uniform

I help them look for game cheats on the Internet

and I play "Starway to Heaven" once in a while just to freak 'em.

(and that's not the scariest...)

I also poster my classroom with quotes from Galileo to H. L. Menken

and give rewards to whomever gives me a written explanation of their meaning.

To wit, an example:

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed

(and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless

series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." -H. L. Menken (1880 -1956)

happy dreams... :bleh:

 

[Dangerous Dave]

Either they've already fixed it or I'm missing it. What's the hubbub?

 

[madmike2]

Much ado about nothing. Its Winter and everyone who can't ride is stirring up the internet.

Toecutter: That was an amazing paragraph you wrote. I read right through it without any hesitation at all. No wonder I can't spot my own spelling errors.
