Guess Aflakologic must be from Detriot.

Heard plenty of rightniks here defend his lacko edmucation despite him being a 'skool Teechar'

Having said that, I agree that this is an embarresment to the Detroit school system.

Buy em books, send em to school, what do they do? Eat the teacher.

He's a music teacher, sour.

And half his presentation is schtick.

"that he sent a Feb. 29 e-mail"

So, this story is two years old?

His must be one of those "gud enuf skooling" appointments? Peter principle? How it sometimes works:

some of the best English teachers can't spell and readily admit it.
(life goes on in the gray area, everything isn't black or white.)

"He's a music teacher, sour.

And half his presentation is schtick."

Hag, I love ya, man, but being a music teacher does not excuse one from being a shitty writer. And if his presentation is shtick, okay, but then he should never criticize education if he can't at least pretend to recognize that presentation matters. I don't feel enough irony for your reason to excuse his choice in style.

"some of the best English teachers can't spell and readily admit it."

True, Ichiro. And some of the best writers, too. But spelling can be fixed pretty easily with spellcheck or a better speller reading your stuff before you send it out.

And presentation matters, especially if you work in education or anywhere in the public eye. And the excerpt of an e-mail I saw in that article was more than badly spelled--it was unreadable; it simply made no sense.

Spelling is no indication of intelligence, nor perhaps is writing. But both sure help to make a point or a good impression.

"His must be one of those "gud enuf skooling" appointments? Peter principle? How it sometimes works:"

School board members where I live are elected by the people of their town/district. Dunno if that's true in Detroit.

nuff sed.
