Looks to me like someone had just enjoyed a few pints of bitter before sending off that email.

There is no excuse for this but a lot of people don’t treat emails like they do other correspondence. Way too many people type and push send without proof reading the email. Take a look at the emails you get at work. I get a bunch filled with abbreviations, all lower case, spelling mistakes, no punctuation. More evidence that the West has become sloppy and undisciplined.

The Dumbing Down of The Masses is now begetting teachers of the same ilk.

Maintaining high standards is either racist, sexist, or harms an applicant’s self esteem. This is what you get when you value diversity above competence.

I thought we needed more evidence to determine whether the teacher is guilty or not. ;-)

I don’t think this can be readily excused as some of those quaint little differences between American and British English...although it’s fairly easy to see some besotted British school teacher with a pint glass of Watney’s Red Barrel on her desk looking up and greeting you with a “Good everning!”

If you have Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office installed simultaneously on your computer, such a message won't unlikely be sent. Why? Because the spelling and grammar checker in Word would have flagged the spelling and grammatical errors first in the composed Outlook message.

I use Word 2007 and Outlook 2007 and it definitely does this.

‘But I just received this email and was shocked at how poorly written it was.’

The grammar in this sentence is not correct. Should be, "I was shocked to receive this poorly written email."

Whenever a teacher sent a note home, I would correct the spelling mistakes and grammar with a red pen and send them back with a request for one that was readable...

I expected the teacher to be able to read and write better than my children...

I got a note one time from my son’s ‘English’ teacher that had multiple spelling and grammer errors in it.

I took a red pencil, corrected all the errors, and put a note on the bottom, “When you can show that you are in any way qualified to teach my son English, I will come to the school and discuss is performance in your class.”

Needless to say we got a call from the prinicipal of the school to come see him about our verbally abusing one of his teachers. I calmly let him know that 1. It was not verbal it was a note, 2. If he would hire competent teachers this would not be a problem, and 3. If he continued to pursue this course of action he would find out what verbal abuse really consisted of.

One week later we transferred our son to a private school.
