Not everyone's favorite teacher

Not everyone likes their teacher, originally uploaded by The Earl of Steinway.

    Actually this was written not by one of my students, but a girl whose name I don't even know. I think she's in the sixth grade. All I know is that every day she points at me and tells me that I'm going to die. I think these kids watch too many horror movies.
    I am impressed that there isn't a single misspelling in her message, and that she demonstrates an ability to self-monitor (I have to think of a plan). This is just the type of work my school encourages. Perhaps she should try to use more than one syllable words.
    One of my High School students demonstrated the problems one encounters when trying to use multisyllabic words today. She began an essay on some famous figure from history by saying, "Even though you want to do what you want you have to follow the rules. Everyone wants to own the University but they can't."
