I often wondered if the teachers were picking up their bad habits by reading it. <br /><br />How awful that you couldn't quietly correct the children just in passing. That, and exactly THAT, is how children learn. Just listen to parents teach their toddlers...it's the way it is. This self-esteem concern is unfortunate because one day there is the potential for some serious self-esteem issues in the workforce. Couldn't teachers simply say that they are here to teach and if a student says something wrong...everybody does...that the teacher will explain the correct way to say it? <br /><br />All that and I have a particular pet peeve. The number of times teachers have corrected their students incorrectly. Example: Mom gave Johnny and me some money for Christmas. Corrected (incorrectly) to "Mom gave Johnny and I some money for Christms." Arrghhhhh...sends me every time. ☺<br /><br />Hope that, between you and your daughter, you got them all straightened around.

Grangeville must have lots of people on his nice list... ;0)<br /><br />Educations has really taken a turn for the worse. I am usually appalled by the grammar in our schools, even the teachers use terrible grammar! Children's self-esteems would be better if they were not made fun of because they didn't know how to spell, write or speak correctly!! <br /><br />Have a Merry Christmas!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Barb <br /><br />Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.com
