" High shoal . I never call back I would have to teach scholarly person to memorize their street savoir-faire . "
Hi. My name is Alexa, and I used to teach high school English Language Arts. It’s a piece of lore I try to forget about — mainly because, among many frustrations, the school actively worked against its students.
You see , as sophomores , my minor had no idea how to use any punctuation mark , and it was a clear progeny in their writing . However , our vice school principal , who approve or rejected my lesson plans , refused to let a grammar lesson go through because the state " did not test for grammar " at this grade level , and learn to the test was prioritized .
SO , that provide me with teens referring to semicolons as " that lil ' smiley face affair " because they were meant to learn punctuation in early ground level , and I , as their teacher , was told to move forward ( even if they did n’t ) .
As you can imagine, I was immediately drawn to this openquestionon X, where user@MrCScholzasked, “All teachers out there. State your grade level and something that you never thought you’d have to teach students but find that, in recent years, you now have to teach multiple students in your class/classes.”
