Time to find a better school not connected to the Virginia teachers union.
Msn reported:
A letter from the president of a Virginia teachers union arguing for more stringent measures to stem the flow of Covid-19 was mocked on Twitter for its many grammatical errors.
Parent Ellen Gallery marked up the letter and posted the heavily corrected version on Twitter, writing: “Hey [Virginia Education Association], are you going to send out more of these grammar worksheets over break? My kids and I had a great time spotting errors! Did we find them all?”
Ms Gallery marked up about 20 errors in the letter sent by Arlington Education Association President Ingrid Gant to Arlington Schools Superintendent Dr Francisco Duran, calling for more on-site Covid tests to be provided amid the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the virus.
Ms Gant argued that classes shouldn’t resume as planned in January until the schools’ testing capabilities are improved.
Sad, but also true in our area as well. Wicomico is fun of them!
I took the time to look at the corrections noted in the letter. Many of the mistakes are something I would expect that a junior high student would make. A formal letter from an organization that represents education that contains so many obvious errors is beyond embarrassing.
Particularly laughable is the use of the word “are” where “our” is the correct word. I may have errors in these several sentences but then I don’t represent our educational system.
Roy, boy, is that you?
It doesn’t take brains to be a union president. Just a big ego, and no clue.
But she be the head of edumacation.
Typical
This same thing happened in a local school district. The parents brought the letter to the principal. The principal told the teacher to submit all letters to me in the future, so that I could correct any mistakes. The teacher never submitted anything to me. He was active in the union, I was not a member.
UMES graduate?
This type of behavior is quite prevalent in our society and will continue because of policies such as affirmative action. Too many people like her that are totally unqualified; however, because solely of their race they obtain positions such as this.
Even using the ‘excuse’ that the letter sent out was a “draft” copy, the errors are inexcusable for anyone having any education beyond maybe 4th or 5th grade! 13%er ?
asking a union teacher to use proper language is racist! you bigoted privileged folks!
LOL, I love what the parent did to that letter !!!
