What happened to teaching children proper English and grammar?
Honestly. I don't understand this. It seems like we are too busy teaching our children the finer sides of cooking and organized sports than we are teaching them the simple basics of life. I almost had a heart attack today when I saw a question from a twenty-something that honestly said "be trade" instead of "betrayed." How does this happen? Where are we going wrong? Am I the only person in the world to find this utterly ridiculous?
I am a foreign language teacher and I couldn't agree more. I constantly have to tell my students to speak proper English so they can understand what I am teaching them. It got so bad that one day I posted a sign outside my classroom . Welcome to Ms. Z's class kindly leave your " slang" at the door. The students at first mocked my corrections however now they correct each other when they address each other in slang terms.
