These gems were found in essays written by a few of my Critical Thinking students. I swear I am not making this up!
"Mary never had no altercation with the law before."
"She didn't have no reason to mess up her life even more."
"Mary was being prostitute was getting beat by her pimp." "She could have told her coworkers that were out there with her at the time."
It's going to be a long semester.
About Me
- Seeking Solace
- I am a college professor who is fumbling through the chaos of academia, rheumatoid arthritis, working on my PhD and just being a 40 something woman. I used to be a lawyer, which made me a snarky little person. I have a wonderful Husband and a German Shepherd named Junior. They help keep me sane.
