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.
