Suffer the Little Children



I returned corrected quizzes to the students yesterday. They looked so stricken. I felt sorry for them. I tried to go easy on them, I really did, but their answers were so. so. awful. And these are college students. Juniors and Seniors. And they write like 5th graders. These are our future teachers, ladies and gentlemen.


Be afraid. Be very afraid.
