the fun never stops

I spent two weeks in my hometown recently, which was just enough time to make me realize how astoundingly warped my current sitch is. I received this forward from my friend with the sense to leave the profession promptly. It seems some of her former students tracked her down on MySpace and sent this lovely message:

Her reply? "I guess those grammar lessons didn't help much." It was signed by three of her eighth-grade girls who are destined to become baby factories before the age of twenty.

I took a few things away from the essay: 1.) Teachers must live Highly Moral lives and not indulge in the legal activities of drinking, smoking, or blogging. 2.) Grammar is not valued by anyone under the age of sixteen. 3.) Moral outrage is the perogative of the morally deficient.
