Plot Twist:The teacher agrees, and lets Rose take her place for a week. Rose nearly explodes out of mere frustration, due to how utterly ridiculously underpaid she is for all the work she must do. From creating lesson plans based on new curriculums that she wasn’t properly informed about, to dealing with parents who claim to know everything, Rose quits after the sixth day. In the end, she vows never to criticize her teacher again.
The number of errors I found in my college level courses was scary. But I only pointed them out if they were especially egregious, and only to the professor, not the entire class..
I’ve had kids like that in my classroom (retired after 35 years)… they don’t like it when they’re called out for making mistakes…(I also enjoyed Will’s signature this morning).
The correct response is “That was just to see if you were awake.” (Well, at least that’s what one of my high school teachers used. His yearbook photo was even captioned with that quote).

Went grocery shopping today. Hardly anyone in the store. No panic buying like the newspaper predicted.

To err is human, to be a pain in the a$$ is also – sadly – human.

Mrs. Macintosh can probably slap a gold sticker directly on Roses column (on that chart) without even looking.

A Rose by any other name would still be a PITA

Every teacher loves a smart student, but most are not pleased with a smart-aleck.

Rose, teachers often work on a deadline and don’t have the time to spellcheck everything, you know. ;)_

Reminds me of the time in second grade when I corrected a mistake the teacher made reading from a primer.

We had to give our youngest a stack of post-it notes to mark errors and typos to hand in later so he would stop interrupting the teacher.

Teacher should actually let Rose teach for a day. She’ll NEVER say that again.
