It's sad, really. I noticed that my son's teachers don't bother to correct his spelling or grammar on most of his assignments because it's "the substance that matters" to them. Apparently, AOLspeak is changing the way papers are graded. Why in the hell has it become commonplace?
This probably also has something to do with overly PC public school teachers nowadays that are afraid to correct kids, fearing the wrath of child-centered parents.
Actually it probably has more to do with the fact that your kid's classes probably have 38+ students in each class. When you teach at least 200 students a day you cannot correct everything on each assignment. Next year in our district the classes are going up to 42. We save that kind of grading for the big important writing assignments and give everything else a few "pity points" for effort.

Not an educator here, but that was my interpretation.

Yeah. There is much to be said for a teacher's ineptness - I mean... lack of ability... er... fuck it.

Sure I could do my job, if I devoted more time to it than there is hours in the day. So no, I cannot do my job. If you think you can, be my guest.
*by the way, that might not be relevant since I am not actually a teacher!
