Basic errors from the Stanford Binet lower quartile

>The board-and- administration parasites use state money do such things as fund the board’s spending $150, 00 in a single year to gad about the country on frivolous junkets while teachers have to use their own money to buy supplies for poor children so that these tots can participate in class activities.<

>Or, using the logic that administrators can do no wrong, Ms. Elia sends out a memo to administrators to support all administrators caught in a contretemps and authorizes a “mentor” service at $340 a day for the disastrous principal of Alafia, Ms. Smith.<

This must seem reasonable now after the $340 per hour mix up. Vinegartits wouldn't be happy with $340 per month. Here's a question: How much does it cost for teachers to attend professional development for a day? Money for a relief teacher and money to attend PD? Does she rail against this cost also?

>Who pays for this personality-adjustment services?< Subject/verb disagreement

>Warming to the subject, I advised Thomas to go for broke<

You meant that it was Thomas who was warming to the subject, didn't you? The dangling participle phrase is a common error; you've made it before in your blogs.

>“Push back, Thomas,” I urged. “Keep in mind that they all reside in the lower quartile of the Stanford Binet. They could not have passed my English 101 course if their lives depended on it.”<

Thomas Vaughan couldn't have found his way to your classroom! This lower-quartile taunt gets old. Thomas Vaughan can't use an apostrophe to save himself, spells poorly and can't tell the difference between the homophones "your" and "you're". How do these lower-quartile achievers get teaching jobs?

>Thomas caught on quickly. He squawked loudly. He railed constantly. The reward: He saved his job.<

Vinegartits regularly insists that a complete sentence always precedes a colon.

>Thomas, errant comma himself saved his own grits just as Bart Birdsall had saved his with the same strategy when he fought and won the charge that he was using school emails for political purposes.<

>Galileo for saying the the sun was the center of the universe, not the earth, not vice versa as the church insisted.<

This is ridiculously misplaced! Edit: Galileo for saying the the sun, not the earth, was the center of the universe, not vice versa as the church insisted.

>Samuel Gompers, Should this comma be omitted, or should there be one after Galileo earlier? who fought child labor and didn’t give up till he changed the vile practice of greedy industrialists’ making little children work long hours in dark and dank factories.<
