It took me 7 years to get my B.S. (no comments, please) and my total units were well into the graduate level.The usage of teachers I work with is appalling. The worst part is that they don't care. The profession insists on misusing words. For example, they speak of strategies when they mean techniques or methods. One of the worst is the use of "rubric", meaning category. In teaching it is used when criteria is meant. How can rubric possibly be so egregiously misused? To top it off, when I've pointed this out to several colleagues, almost all have merely shrugged it off and acted almost completely disinterested. I'm the only teacher I know who uses good and well properly. Yes, dammit, I say properly, not "in a standard way". Sorry, but I think some things in a language should be considered right and wrong when people are in a position of influence such as teachers, lawyers, broadcasters, et al.
End of rant - for the moment. Hey, I think this should be the purpose of Inmate Central. Good grammar rules, dude and dudette!
