Wibu to complain to the school?

[pho3be]

I mean, come on now

Yes it's bad but no teacher doesn't know how to spell 'you're' or form sentences

Sadly, that's not true.

I've worked in both primary and secondary schools and see this all too often. My Pgce mentor called a lesson "Learning about Planet's" which the pupils all had to copy into their books. His board work was littered with mistakes. Only certain teachers could write ucas references because the general standard of grammar was so low.

Double pay would not get TAs anywhere near many teachers...

Let's not keep turning this into a TA vs Teachers thread. Whatever adult(s) created this and let it loose into he wider world needs to learn a few basics.

Oh that's really bad

Purple : my son has been invited to a GCSE revision session on Hazzard's...

What do you mean?

At first I thought you were complaining that it talks about being a mother is the best possible aspiration (after some threads on here, it wouldn't have surprised me) and I was all ready to say YABU, then I looked properly and realised. Shocking. I'd have to say something as that is so so poor. Spelling and grammar is rapidly going downhill in this country and with teaching like this, I'm not surprised!

Llhj it's not about knowledge or intelligence. Some people have good grammar skills,some people don't. Some of those people are TA's, some of them are teachers. But I resent the assumption that it's "very likely" that it's a TA that has the poor grammar skills.

*Purple@ someone suggested that if TAs knew as much as teachers they would get double the pay (ie be the teachers). Our TAs earn about 13k.

Sorry, I missed that ilikebeans.

Lihj, I'm a TA. The reason I didn't get to train as a teacher is that I was caring for my severely disabled ds and could only commit to a part time job.

I have a degree though, as do just about all the TAs that work in our school.

I would assume it was a mithered teacher/ta who remembered at the very last minute

That's the thing though, isn't it? If you're a teacher, it's your responsibility to be organized enough that these sorts of things don't creep up and make you "mithered". At least that's the impression I'm getting from the teacher training course I'm currently doing.

All that aside, I'd be seriously side-eyeing any teacher who made it as far as getting put in front of a class and didn't understand simple homophones. How can you teach them if you don't know them?

Not quite the point but does the first one say your(sic) my cleaner? I'd be complaining to my child....

Old infant teacher here.
It is disgraceful and the head will be horrified when you show it to him/her tomorrow.
Please do not let this go without bringing it to the attention of the head, as it may happen again if the author is lacking basic literacy skills.

We are all going to hell in a hand basket.
Truely shocking.

I can't read any of them. because my eyeballs have been lacerated

I thought number said 'Your my cat'

number 4...

ummm poison, you do know that's not how you spell truly , right?

Ducks for cover.

They have tried to do something nice for you that wasn't really necessary. A complaint in response is rather harsh in my opinion. Explain to your child and move on in my opinion.

Cook, Beans

My year 1 dd knows that's wrong!

How on earth could they bear to send that out! Someone must have noticed surely

I thought that was an instruction Chardonnay but got you now...

Does one say 'your my skivvy'?

I bet there's a queue at the HT's door in the morning, that's terrible. Sadly it doesn't actually surprise me, I know teachers who have been given the advice that they can swap from one subject to another or from secondary to primary without any formal training to fill in knowledge gaps. Worse still, the teachers I know that have done this believe they have the knowledge and skills to do this without extra training, so any issues won't be picked up until they are in charge of students.

There is a massive problem with the education of teachers coming through the system.

My 13 year old rolled her eyes at this, she's year 8, so I'm not sure secondary school helpers can necessarily be blamed.

I should have written "Your my cook", Beans, but thought I'd spare us all that.
