What a mess! A text scandal! T...haha u crack me ^<br /><br />What a mess! A text scandal! Text-speak has always annoyed me. Ten years ago I would have shunned anyone who spelled the word cool as "kool"- but now I'm a little more forgiving. <br /><br />I work with kids, and some of them like to take notes in "Text"- it works for me, as long as they can understand their shorthand. On classwork, of course, they must use English!Trinity (of haiku tofu)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07973491078575519603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656908554946621165.post-21147598213152848442009-11-30T19:59:41.282-05:002009-11-30T19:59:41.282-05:00I'm so sorry.
Once a reporter from a local Cat...I'm so sorry.<br />Once a reporter from a local Catholic paper called me( while I was driving) and asked for my opinion on some current classroom issue.Let's just say that my sentences were a bit fractured as I tried to manage the highway during rush hour and the caller's questions. <br />She quoted me verbatim.<br />I came across like a 3rd grader.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630262224739505223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656908554946621165.post-83192992231549306022009-11-17T23:26:40.370-05:002009-11-17T23:26:40.370-05:00Nice way to roll with the punches! It's awesom...Nice way to roll with the punches! It's awesome that you would be willing and open minded enough to include something like myspace (or facebook, the new cool thing) in your instruction. Teachers like you truly reach the kids! It's unfortunate, however, that others would take daring instruction such as yours, and misrepresent it!Miss Wendlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024816781573498720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656908554946621165.post-24708374733407535282009-11-17T10:33:52.178-05:002009-11-17T10:33:52.178-05:00Bummer! On the positive side, at least someone'...Bummer! On the positive side, at least someone's talking about the evolution of language, and they're quoting you instead of Poindexter Drydust, professor of the classics. <br /><br />While it's annoying to have to correct their assertions (and I agree--this one has played out like a game of "telephone")--it's a platform for saying what it is that you actually did and why it's important for kids to think about precise and lively communication. In fact, being a good communicator is more important than ever, in this digital world--a point you can make in your public rebuttal.<br /><br />Go get 'em.Nancy Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047575960944913289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656908554946621165.post-24156584533316398142009-11-16T22:55:15.659-05:002009-11-16T22:55:15.659-05:00Jus shoin sum luv!
