>When two large male students started acting up at once, he hooked the harness of one to a stationery object so that he could deal with them one at a time.<

Let me guess - the students were hooked up to a ream of A4?

I'm sure I've mentioned this one before; I must find the link. I distinctly remember coaching Lee with the "e" for "envelope", "a" for "at a standstill" reminder.

Vinegartits struggles with many homophones. Even Hamilton and kindy teachers know the difference between "stationary" and "stationery". This stuff up was in a formal letter to a lawyer.

How dumb can you get?

>This procedure means the teachers are terrified of losing their jobs if they complain even about the most egregious cases of mistreatment of them by the administration and superintendent.<

Well, that dumb. Vinegartits normally complains about this misplaced modifier.
