Educating the Youth of Today

[Mendoza]

Another tale of my adventures on the buses of Brighton & Hove....

After recovering from Friday nights escapade with the drunk chav throwing up on me, today on the bus home from Lewes, 4 chavs sat on the behind me, discussing with each other about meeting their friends in Brighton.

One of them was trying to text his mate to say "we will meet you in town at 5.30"

The guy texting then said, "how do you spell TOWN" i couldnt believe my ears, such a basic word of the English language. Not only was I amazed he couldnt spell it, but the conversation took a brilliant twist.

They couldnt decide if it was spelt T-O-U-N or T-O-W-E-N

The problem wiv the yoofs of today is that most of them can only read and write in txtspk so even simple words are difficult for them to spell.

What is even more annoying was a teachers reaction at my step-daughters parents evening at school. We commented to her English teacher that her spelling, grammar and punctuation were not very good, bordering on non-existent. The English teachers reply was "well we don't bother too much with that sort of thing nowadays, but your daughter has a wonderful command of Shakespeare"

Well whop-de-f***ing-do ! She understands Shakepeare but can't spell, well that will get her a good job won't it!

Ooops.

 

[pasty]

Ooops.

Didn't say mine was any good did I

 

[The Large One]

Didn't say mine was any good did I

Bloody hell. That's an interrogative statement, and therefore requires a question mark at the end.

Good luck as it is a very unappreciated vocation that can make a mountain of difference to the kids if they get a good teacher.

I just wish I'd done it earlier in my life.
