Descriptive

By Teaching26 - 15/05/2010 07:47 - United States

Today, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." FML

How descriptive should second graders be?! Aren't they just learning to spell and write?

Well don't ask a kid something if you don't want a truthful answer.

Kind of agree. Did you not know you were fat and grey, at least, by a kid's standards? My kids think my teen-aged friends are old and anyone with non-visible bones is fat, including my friend the personal trainer with muscles stacked on top of each other.

It's not that hard to spell "taught". You make it sound like it's a really hard word to spell.

39, younger kid's spelling these days is horrible. I'm fourteen, and I bet there's a few kids in my grade who couldn't spell "taught."

how old was the kid in that video anyway? I wasn't really paying attention when I saw it.

Shh, darkmis, we're on FML. These people can barely spell fat, never mind the whole gray/grey controversy!

I hated that. I use to get marked wrong all the time in spelling tests because I spelled (spelt) things the Brittish way instead of the American way. I still have a bit of a chip on my shoulder because of it.

If you're that pissy about it, darkmiss, you can have a gold star, too. Not all kids that age can spell words that do not look like they sound. As IrishJane pointed out, some adults have the same problem. Would've does not equal "would of". RedPill, same here! I try to remember to spell things the American way but I slip up quite often when I type quickly. Ah, well. Those that matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter.

Clearly you're a great teacher. You'd be even better if you could spell 'grey' correctly :p

You ignorant Europeans should be more open minded and realize you're not the only people out there. It can be spelled gray in the USA. However, if you are an American you're just an idiot. FYI I only said that because I find it hypocritical that people will call Americans ignorant for not knowing something simple and then when they make a mistake they just sit there like it's not their fault.
