A student asked if a run-on sentence is one you write while running. I said yes. I'm tired.

"Can we watch the movie instead?" No. But I admire your commitment to asking every single day since August.

Spent three weeks teaching Romeo and Juliet. On the last day a student asked, "Wait, they DIE?" Anyway, I'm updating my résumé.

Student: "I wrote three pages!" Also the student: font size 20, double double spaced, margins the size of Texas.

"why is English so illogical" sir I don't know, ask the 1400s, I just teach it

[An Exhausted Teacher @donewteaching]

what's a word in English you can say perfectly but will never be able to spell? mine is "necessary". I have never once gotten the c's and s's right on the first try
