re: #331 goddessoftheclassroom

You’re so kind! Thank GOODNESS it wasn’t the embarrassing typo of the other evening! I still cringe at that one—and no, I’m not tell you what it was!

You posted a day or two ago (I was just lurking) with the most amazing dissection of a sentence I’ve seen since the seventh grade.

I read the post two or three times. I always got straight A’s in English and could diagram sentences with the best of them.

You had my brain locked up. I saw all the words, understood all the words, and could not make sense of it. 1961 was too long ago.

If that’s what you’re doing to your students now, I have hope for thirty or forty of our future leaders.
