Props to all the teachers & tutors who have to make this BS make sense every year. #mommacusses

To quote my English teacher "It is stupid"

[spklyunicorn]

I am an ESOL teacher. The struggle is real!!!

[shadowdemon]

The fact that their, there, and they're all start with "the", but for some reason peace and piece use a different first vowel still throws me off as an adult 😂😂

[michellebyrd]

I sometimes tell my students English is actually five languages in a trenchcoat when they're frustrated with this kind of nonsense.

[LittleRedBoot]

I did my undergraduate dissertation on phonics and it still doesn’t make sense. 😂 you’re not alone

[susanstetson]

And to add insult to injury we often use here and there and the same sentence. Seems like a recall an old Sesame Street with Grover teaching here and there lol.

I was an ESOL tutor for 2 years. Some of the lovely people there were about to cry in frustration, and I was right there with them on that. My grandmother came over from Belgium and I do not know how she did it.

Omg !!!😂😂😂lmfao!!! Your expression is 100% how I feel when I'm teaching my lil ones!!! How does it even make sense lol we confuse our children lol while teaching them!

As a homeschooling mom, I’m so glad for curriculum that teaches me how to teach the rules, and the rule breakers, which has made teaching my 6 kids how to read super easy. ❤ Teaching my twins has tested my limits, so teachers that can teach 15-30 5-year-olds how to read all at once are out of this world amazing!

Read to your kids. Kids need to see adults reading. If possible, make regular trips to the library. You can borrow e-books and audio books from libraries. You can get books on your phone. Libraries and community centers may have a reading program for tots and older kids. Kids who have parents who read come to school ready to learn. There are Literacy Centers for adults who want to learn to read or want to improve their reading. Reading material needs to be age appropriate and at the child's reading level. There are lists of books from the ALA on the Internet. Many of these resources are free. (I'm a passionate reader and retired Reading Specialist). Sorry for my scattered thoughts, but there's so much information I want to pass along. Students learn to read from Kindergarten through 3 rd grade. In grade 4 kids read to learn and that is when parents and teachers start to see problems. Talk to your child's teacher if you have concerns, but give the teacher a few weeks to get to know his or her kids.

As a special education elementary school teacher, this hits on a whole different level🤣🤣🤣 Thank you❤

[christinabest.]

I have major respect for all of the teachers that have to make it make sense! English is one of the hardest languages to learn and teach! Thanks for bringing attention to this, a lot of of us as parents and human beings in general, need to know how grateful we should be, it is to be have someone trying to get our kids interested and keep them involved. Otherwise, not one of our kids would be talking or even able to read! ❤❤😂😂

[stacybroussard]

My Utmost Respect to All Teachers, you are one of a kind with the Patience of Saints 🙏❤️🙏🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💯✌🏼

[KaiseaWings]

On placement learning to be a teacher we just honestly said 'yup, the rules aren't rules, they're guidelines and you just do your best'

[TCCole]

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez did this with tough and cough. Hysterical with Desi's accent.

[CherryMoonMaiden]

I love that you used to have funky cuts n colours but really loving the natural curls! Gorgeous ❤❤❤🇦🇺

[Jypsie]

As a homeschooling Mom, I can totally relate to this! LOL 🤣

[MapleScripts]

Pitching your kid an audible signup code young 😂

[Starlene]
