Good Grammar

Dear Former Students,

When I first joined Facebook, one of the reasons was to keep up with you... to stay in contact. But some of you are ruining it for me! Any student who has ever been in any of my classes, knows punctuation and capitalization. And proofreading! C'mon, people! If it's important enough to post as a status, at least proofread to make sure it makes sense! And look think back to English class... remember how every sentence begins and ends! I'm not judging you, honestly I'm not, but I do know you know how to write a sentence correctly... at least every once in a while.

And while I have your attention, I'd also like you to think about WHAT you are posting. Some of you have gotten so foul, I've removed you because what you you post offends me. You're an adult now, it's time to start acting more mature. Do you ever stop to think about the fact that your old teacher(s) are reading what you are posting? I just want to be proud of the person you've become... I want to know about your accomplishments, not that you got drunk last night.

Of course, I'm not talking about all of you! As far as that goes, this applies to some friends and family members, too. I'm just saying... think about what you're posting... and proofread!

Love,

Your English Teacher

Dear Charlie Sheen,

What are you doing? Two and a Half Men is one of my very favorite shows. I never miss a show, and I watch the reruns over and over again! But WHAT are you doing? Three million dollars an episode????? Do you realize how many people in the world are out of a job right now? Thousands of teacher in Texas are in danger of losing their jobs, and you want three million dollars an episode to do a show? Don't get me wrong, like I said, I love your show. It's fun... it makes me laugh. I went to college for 4 years, I graduated in August, and started to work right away. I've been working at it for almost 30, and maybe I've made one million... maybe! I'm not begrudging you your salary, I'm just wondering if you have stopped to think about how much you make already, and how much that money would mean to so many, and still you want more!?!? Now I don't know the whole story, and I don't pretend to know, but from where I sit, it's just not right. I truly hope some agreement is made so that I haven't seen the last of Two and a Half Men... I'd really miss having Charlie, Alan, and Jake in my life.

Sincerely,

A Teacher in Texas
