sem44 - joined 01/26/12, 1st post today - 02/02/12.
It seems a bit off to me.
1. First sentence says she joined because "we are required to by my social work class"
2. Second sentence says she joined because " I am an adoptee and that is why i joined this group"
What do you all think?

I don't know. Bears watching for sure.
If the person was required to join for a class then I expect to see more people join in the next few days with a similar story.

It may just be that as part of the class they had to join some sort of online community and because she is an adoptee she chose this site.

Ya, sounds like it's required to join a group for their social work class and he picked us because he's an adoptee.
Bears watching though...it's hard for me to believe one would be at the college level and be that low in writing/grammar skills.

Actually his grammar is better than some of what I saw in seminary where all my classmates had college degrees.

Oh Crick. you should read some of the things my students wrote in my Theatre Appreciation class I taught at the university. Good Lord was it bad. Of course, I'm in favor of red ink and so I would bleed all over it. I fear for our future....

It's all the texting and the fact that a lot of schools do not teach it any longer.
I tell my kids they can do shorthand for texting but they better not apply that to anything else!

I had the middle school counselor forward me a flyer yesterday for a fundraiser. There were multiple spelling, grammer, and puncuation errors in it. I am just praying she is not the one who wrote it! I had the urge to forward it to my son's advanced language arts teacher. :evilgrin:

Does anyone remember the write to read program? or are you all too young? The idea was that the children would learn to read by writing their own stories. I remember subbing in a third grade classroom: there were stories plastered all over the walls. I was appalled at the lack of grammar (and spelling). The classroom teacher was delighted by their writings.

Our schools were going through a phase of that when my oldest was learning to read and write. Thank goodness they rethought it before my younger two got there. Let's just say it didn't work well.

I remember having classes where the teacher would read a paragraph and then we had to write it down - verbatim.
We also had pages upon pages of nothing but grammer. Whatever happened to the possessive apostrophe? It seems to have gone by the wayside.
I figure it is all in the same boat with math and everything else these days. The way sales clerks can't figure out why you gave them a $10 bill and a $1 bill for a $5.99 purchase.
Guess it's the larger classrooms, more vacation days and a shorter school year.

And I find people just throw it in everywhere. That was one of the errors on the flyer this morning. I can't not believe how many adults I know don't understand how to use it and when it doubt just throw it in for good measure. My second graders puncutate better than many 40-somethings I know!

Dictation was always part of our spelling testing (at least in upper elementary). Grammar was always graded as part of any paper we wrote (in classes other than other than English as well.)
