You will get no argument from me Carl, even the older english teachers are screaming over here but it falls on deaf ears. The kids are expected to deal with material that needs a good thirty years of life experience to begin to understand. It's a total disaster and many new teachers (including english) are basically illiterate themselves. When we write reports they are cross checked by several staff members before going out to parents. Some of the comments are simply rubbish in terms of spelling, grammer and tense. I won't say who the worse offenders are though .
