Scholorship

From http://http//grammargrinch.blogspot.com/2008/02/elias-poison-spreads-throughout-schools.html

>Ms. Elia's bachelor's-degree college in New York state had grammar-and-punctuation errors on its home page when I checked it. This is not a good sign that Ms. Elia's alma mater is a hotbed of scholorship.<

I don't think that anyone (especially a teacher with experience of 28 years) who can't spell "scholarship" ranks fit to judge where is or isn't a satisfactory place to learn.

>The board is just as prostrate before Ms. Elia’s ukases as the teachers were. On the podium, it always seems to me that the board regresses to some age at which the designated adult, Elia, has the power. <

What is "it"? The word has has no antecedent. This is the kind of felony against which Lee rails.


>I'd like to slap those young first- and second-year teachers silly for participating in the punishment of older colleagues by taking the jobs that the principals and department heads removed from teachers such as Bruce for protesting the extra class. They are ingrateful, short-sighted little twits. lee<

Hypocrite. Lee bleats about freedom of speech for everyone and freedom of choice for those wanting an abortion. Don't first- and second-year teachers have the same freedom to make their own choices? What would Lee say to the crazies who say that women having abortions are not grateful for the gift of life or are being short-sigshted for not realising they are snuffing out an entire lifetime? Ingrateful, shortsighted, pro-choice twits? I know who the real twit is.
