stoopid test
how hard would it be for a 2nd grade teacher to issue a spelling list with all of the words spelled right?? pretty fuggin' hard apparently because turtle's teacher hasn't done it all year i don't think! take, for instance, last week's imaginary word chaulk. what the fugg??? like google asked when i searched for it, i was thinking, Did you mean: chalk? caulk i get but don't know why it'd be on a 2nd grade spelling list, chalk i get. . . but chaulk? turns out it was chalk. this week we practiced slaw all week and found out to-friggin'-day (thursday, the day before the friggin' test) that it's actually claw!! there were more that i don't recall. if i'd known this was going to be a regular thing i'd have kept track. if she can't spell them, how the hell does she expect a bunch of 8 year olds to spell them? if she just missed the mistakes, that tells me she doesn't care enough to check the list before she passes it out. i remember a time or few getting a freebie on a test because the teacher typed the test up stoned or something and fugged it up. but every damned week?

Strange. Back in the days (Ancient Greek days- lots of bearded men in robes arguing with each other) teachers used to be regarded as the highest of the high. Now it seems that teachers are the people who flunked getting into Law, Medicine, Engineering, etc. and couldn't find a job flipping burgers because of the skill involved. Anyway, I'm not a knitter, I do not knit, however this site might be of interest to you. It shows how you can knit sushi-shaped things.
