A substitute teacher working at an Iowa high school was taken off the sub list a few weeks after telling students that they had horrendous grammar during class.
S. Keyron McDermott opened up her piece in a local newspaper saying the high school terminated her last fall for telling students that their grammar skills were subpar – by around 10 years.
“Last Halloween, I dressed up like a teacher – not exactly an alter ego; I have a certificate – went to the local high school, and substituted in Family & Consumer Science,” McDermott wrote in an op-ed for the Des Moines Register. “There was a small ruction in third period; the principal and I discussed it amicably, and I barely gave it second thought.”
I'm what?
Believing she had done absolutely nothing wrong or beyond her limits as a high school teacher, McDermott was shocked any disciplinary action over the “incident” was taken – let alone a termination.

A ruction?
Dang. Even I had to look that word up.
Ebonics?
A ruction has consequences................
“Yeah, my son tole me that a teacher said he had a notorious grandma. How they know that? I want that heffer fired and give me some money”
“Gramma?....we don’t need no stinkin’ gramma”
Let’s eat gramma.
Let’s eat, gramma.

Then the war did soon engage,
‘twas woman to woman and man to man,
Shillelagh law was all the rage
and a row and a ruction soon began!
I guess if you have a small ruction in third period lasting over 4 hours, consult your doctor.
This kind of $#*+ is going to continue until parents and taxpayers actually wrest control of their school boards from the educrats.

I seem to recall that when our kids were learning to read they should read books ahead of their level with several(?) new words on each page that they would have to look up.
Two of my kids would just sort of get maybe the gist of what the word is and read on. The one would look up EVERY single new word in her big dictionary. Took her forever to read a book!
She is now quite the writer though!

OOPS...double post.
The so-called "education system" in this country has nothing to do with education; its all about indoctrination. Its become the school of political correctness and its destroying our culture. We are paying for it in more ways than one.
If you have a ruction lasting more than four hours ...
As you get older, you're happy if there is any ruction at all.
There’s a little blue pill that can give you one of those.
I’m pretty sure this Grammar Nazi substitute is a Freeper.
Too many suspects..............
Excuse my crassness, but proper capitalization matters too:
