Teacherspeak

Things I often tell students -
This essay isn't typed correctly.

Those letters should be capitalized.

You need a period there.

This paragraph isn't well-structured.

That idea needs support.

The logic in this essay is weak.


What I ought to say -
The most important lessons aren't in books.

Brain death is not supposed to happen before age 80.

If you used even 12% of your potential,
you'd be far ahead of most human beings.

If teachers don't offer what you need
find it elsewhere.
