Here it is... the Newsletter that my son's teacher sends home each week... lack of punctuation and all of the spelling errors. This week was much better than last week... I think I only counted 12 or so errors this time! She is learning!


1. Don't forget to pack you child a snack everyday. They enjoy there special treats.

2. Please place an extra set of clothes in you child's backpack and a plastic bag in case of spills or accidents.

3. Homework continues write any question you have in you child's folder an I will answer and return! Some parents have asked for the list of word wall words and they can be found on the homework page.

4. Bake sale will occur on the night of the talent show - let me know if you wish to donate anything!

5. Please ONLY allow you child to bring toys or other items to school on Friday that is the only day we have show an tell.

6. I will be preforming in the talent show with any kindergartener to the song Hawaiin Roller Coaster Ride. On Thursday, March 27, 2003. Children will need to be at the school by 5:45 pm dressed in BLUE JEANS and a WHITE SHIRT. (Any Hawaiian items may be added to the basic costume if you wish!) If you child wants to preform with me please complete the form at the bottom by Friday March 21, 2003.

7. We completed are push an pull unit with an preformance[ demonstration. We are beginning to talk about are public concerns about school an will be developing an action plan. We continue to focus on ways to sort using Venn diagrams and matrixes. Reading and Writing Workshops contiue.

8. Extra snack for those who may forget. A box of gram crackers or pretzels would be great!

Best Wish
Ms. Teacher

She's not even coherent! I can't even believe this.
And apparently she's never heard of a "comma" either.
You should show this letter to the superintendent of the school.

I don't think I've ever seen her use a comma... ever. It is sad... I told you!

POOK said:

Mmmhmmm...

Dear God.
I'm sorry you have to put up with this!
How ridiculous, Azure!

POOK said:

That was great!

POOK!!

some one has too much time on their hands

Good work POOK!

For some reason, that reminded me of our Brownie Scout (whatever you call them) leader. She was this huge fat woman, had to be at least 300 pounds. Every week when we met for our meetings, she would expect a certain number of us to bring treats (cookies, cake, etc.) and our dues.

She would sit there during our activity time and eat almost all of the food herself, and then we had to split what was left over. Also, she happened to be the mother of one of the other students, and they were a pretty poor family. After a while, she started coming in with new clothes on. Granted, really cheap stuff, but new clothes. We found out later that she had been taking our dues and using it for herself to buy herself new things.

LMAO @ Pook.

Call me picky and choosy, I would forward this letter to the Head, and/or send her to another school where she is guaranteed an education...

I hear that most kindergarten teachers are failed english literature professors.

good god its fuckin kindergarten



maybe she forgot to hit spell check..


the most important thing to look for in a teacher not only educating young minds is that they actually LIKE kids and they ENJOY being around them...

now if azure was complaining of the treatment of her child i would be the first mother bear on board to advocate for change...

You can let bad spelling slide in many other professions, but for a teacher, for any age kids, it is inexcusable. Sure, some people are bad spellers, and they always will be, but that's what the DICTIONARY is for! If you're going to send home letters to people, at least take the time to cover up your lack of knowledge by looking up the words you don't know in the dictionary. Spell Check shouldn't be a replacement for learning.

Government schools in action.

I sometimes practice bad grammar when posting on the org, but if I were a teacher I would spend all the time necessary to try and convince the parents that I was smart. This lady sounds dumb.

POOK said:

Can my daughter come to your school.

Star,
As I mentioned before on your green M&M's thread, take this "Newsletter" and make corrections in bold red ink. Then, send a copy to the teacher, the school's principle and the Superintendant of the school district.

Good luck hon!


:wOOt: POOK!!

and this is from a frickin person who has 2 teach kids how 2 spell...guess that why she only teaches kinny-garten, "cat" and "bat" are hard 2 misspell.

lmbao @ pook

I've spoken with his teacher about it already. I don't know. She did correct some of the words that I had circled on the newsletter that I had taken in with me that day.

I guess my whole point is that she is teaching children to spell. This is the age that children grasp on and learn what they are taught and if she is teaching them wrong... I mean, jesus.

If you can't spell, fine... but if you are going to teach children how to spell you should have some grasp of it yourself.

AzureStar: There you got it, adults telling you as it is...yeah you might consider them/us fuckwits on this site but when it comes to a childs education, you want them to be brought up the best possible way..

REDFEATHERS said:
