Another fabulous product of our feel good education system. You know the one that says well "Susie or Johnny didn't do so good but we don't want to hurt their self esteem by giving them the grade they earned and deserved. We'll just curve it a little and everybody passes and feels good about themselves. It is no damn wonder our country is in the shape it is in.

I like this feel-good system.  |

When the modifying words are positioned differently in the sentence - say, after the noun (actually a pronoun in this case) - the hyphen is usually not used. For instance, well-known has no hyphen in the sentence, "This institution is well known." Also, we generally like to begin our sentences with a capital letter and end them with a period vs. a close quote symbol.
I been educated in this system and I feel good when I can make someone else feel lesser by correcting their grammer. |

Not if you had talked to my daughter's middle school English teacher. What I wrote is just how she would have done it, which in itself is pathetic. She sent my daughter home with a paper marked with an "A". I took that paper and corrected it, pulled out my red black and white English text book from high school and double checked myself, and then I, that teacher, and the principal had a discussion that pretty much turned into a war. I ended up telling them "Do what you want with the other students but grade my daughter's papers correctly, if you can, and give her the grade she deserves."

I was taught the punctuation goes inside the quotation marks, but English was my worst subject by no small measure. I ain't been educated, but love a good irony.

I applaud your efforts. Good luck breaking through the union teacher/infallible administration mentality. All kids should be so lucky. |

My daughter went on to be a teacher with a major in Math and Elementary Education, and a minor in English. Her first job was in a middle school teaching 8th graders in Belleview, CA. She received all A's in the rest of middle school because I graded her papers before she turned them in. I explained what was wrong and why, then she had to rewrite them. I figured I owed her that because I didn't think she'd get a fair shake after the fuss up with the teacher.
