Georgia public schools get new grammEr books!

chrisinhouston · 08-11-2009, 02:36 PM

This is just so sad but somehow seems not surprising. This was sent to me by a friend who teaches 6th grade English in Georgia.

Typical. Most of them don't speak english any way.

Whew - good thing its only the carton that the books came in - guess they were shipped from Malaysia, China, Korea...

Sheldonrs · 08-11-2009, 04:58 PM

There are schools in Georgia?

Sundae · 08-11-2009, 05:24 PM

Aylesbury College have a shop-front in one of the shopping centres.
It's to encourage and welcome in kids who might be wary of educational standards like teachers, classrooms, learning. Sorry, snide mode off.

They have an area where final year beauty technicians offer treatments - cheaper than anywhere else, but after all they've had the same training by now (just more recently!)

Shame the professionally produced poster read "appointmets"

What, not "appointmet's"?

When the state's name takes up a column inch, you have to abbreviate.

1) No one in Mississippi reads the newspaper
2) If they did, they would think that they've been spelling it wrong all these years.
