Education

Yesterday at a Little League game a young woman was sitting in front of us. She appeared to be grading tests by elementary students. (The handwriting on the tests appeared to be of younger students.) I assume she is a teacher. In answer to someone’s question, she said, “He don’t like that.”

When we first moved here, our younger son brought home a note from the teacher. She wrote, “It is alright. . .” “Alright” is not a word.

Most of the teachers with whom I dealt while my sons were in school were competent, and I know that teaching is one of the most difficult jobs in the world, but it seems to be that some need refresher courses in grammar and word usage.

Some kids who be in school don’t talk good!
