Between there, their and they’re? Just wondering as a few posts have gone up by the same teacher not using them correctly. For example yesterdays was ‘we are proud of there behaviour’

Sometimes on social media it's the office staff responsible but even so.

But if it's a few times I'd have to say something.

So bad.

Could have been a typo.

Surely you mean "could of" 😉

Of course they should. I would be very unhappy if someone teaching my children couldn’t tell the difference between those three words.

That's really bad tbh, if a teacher gets that wrong.

Absolutely shocking.
