Correcting teachers spelling mistakes

[Kendodd]

Now I have far from perfect spelling or grammar, but them I'm not a school teacher.

WIBU to point out the spelling mistakes in the teacher comments? If so then how? I don't want to come across as rude but if I were a teacher I would want them pointed out to me so that I can stop doing it.

*Please feel free to attack my spelling and grammar, as I said it's far from perfect.

I'm really fussy about spelling. I'm a lazy Typer though.
Sometimes when I mark I'm in a hurry or more likely tired. I cringe if I spot my own spelling errors. Usually a word you look at snd just can't think straight.
Teachers are fallible. Give them a break.

You should go back and look at what you wrote last time fish face .ckntinual dialogue in book with kids. Plus have they acted on what you did. ?

Lol at staffroom.

Parents have no idea how much some if them are slagged off do they? ;)

DC's - love it
now where's that red pen

I admit I frequently scrawl comments and make errors when correcting the same damned thing in the 30th book and I've got 4 more sets of books to mark, and it's past 11.30 at night with a toddler who doesn't sleep well.
If a parent wants to correct it, and it makes them happy, well then great, at least someone has made the effort to read what I bloody write as I'm sure the pupils don't....
I wont see their correction anyway as I don't look back at previous corrections - no time...
(secondary)

If the comments are there for the child to read then I would correct for the sake of the child.

Thought that DC's would be correct as it's an abbreviation of Dear Children's?

You were absolutely right FrothyCurl

I would be really worried if teachers' comments were frequently misspelt but I don't think I would actually write a correction to be handed back to the teacher. Luckily, I haven't encountered this yet. I am not really sure what I would do about it. I think I would bring it up with the head and/or seriously consider moving my dc but not everyone has this option.

I think they may well have meant Noah. "Noah's ark" is commonly spoken of in that way but has anyone ever heard "Moses' ark" before? It is usually called the ark of the covenant.

LaQueen- you need to brush up on your apostrophe use as well. Unless your DH went to a grammar school for just one boy, that is, in which case I apologise

Le Q. My grammar and spelling is.
Just sometimes you make mistakes. As we all do.

Lol.

But if teachers are so tired that they are making spelling mistakes-that´s a problem, isn´t it?

Also 30 books all with the same mistake in?

So it would seem, from reading this thread, that cliches along the lines of "people in glass houses..." ring somewhat true, and spelling/grammar should only be corrected by those who are very sure of their own abilities.

'But if teachers are so tired that they are making spelling mistakes-that´s a problem, isn´t it?'

It is a problem, but the answers are not easy. Or even visible on many occasiona.
Look at the number of times I'm posting at 5am, whilst planning, searching resources, creating resources or marking and doing paperwork and having a 10 minute break. There is no other way to balance all the elements in my life except to manage on 5 hours sleep. Fortunately, my stress levels make it easy to do.
I teach a very able Y6 class who create a lot of fantastic work. It all needs marking, commenting on and reflecting on. One set of independent writing can take 5 minutes per book to mark properly. I have 30 children, you do the maths.

Just wait until your child is in high school and the teacher can have hundreds of books to mark in a week...

You may not even get the chance to adjust their marking as they may not get a chance to mark the books ,naughty teachers.

You could keep up with the marking if you weren't also generating new plans every time, creating differentiated resources for every session or if we used textbooks as we used to back in the day.
I do think that is one area where secondary is easier than primary.

So LeQ, you just have the one DD then and your DH was the sole boy at his school?

We can all make mistakes at times (I know I certainly do), so it's probably best to cut others some slack

I agree LeQ, that's where dictionaries and honesty about your individual weaknesses as a writer kick in. A teacher should take care.

I thought you were a minge waxer le queen.
