Honestly... I know you no doubt think it's a bit of harmless fun and banter - but continuing to take silly pot-shots at the OP is actually coming across a little borderline trollish at this point. Let it go.

Woah.. I started the grammar thing and for good reason.

a) It made the post virtually unreadable

b) Some random " her " suddenly appeared which made any meaningful response difficult

c) I don't give a carp what anyone thinks, if you cannot construct a paragraph i don't wish you to educate my child regardless of subject.

I'm no pedant and regularly make mistakes myself. That doesn't constitute a troll or the label of " Grammar Police"

d) It just makes you looks like a rather sad and pathetic [STRIKE]troll[/STRIKE] individual. The original post was not "unreadable" - it was more than evident to normal people what was going on. Sadly, this forum is being taken over by know-it-all trolls (who often don't know as much as they think they do).

Then report me as such.

"Taken over"? It's not a bloody coup.

And no one has clarified where "Her" has come from yet..

whilst the OP's question was indeed comprehensible, the reference to teaching overwhelmed his credibility and did justifiably divert attention away for exactly the reason identified by marksoton - teachers should have base standards even if teaching a technical subject. Imagine if the marking/feedback comments posted in your child's exercise book had been like this, would you have any faith in the teacher who wrote them? I wouldn't, and would deem it indicative of dumbing down and a poor school.

Seriously? you fell onto that one.

you fell onto that one.

A capital letter is required for the first word of the sentence after the question mark.....:rotfl:

I find it sad, that he has asked a question and he gets the mickey taken out of him because of his grammar.

I wasn't taking the mickey but admit that I was distracted from the original question (whose full import I didn't appreciate until after the OP's later explanation) by the errors in a post from a would be teacher.

He received useful and informative replies from other posters and I would have thought he might have appreciated pointers to the correct spelling of "role" etc ( or at least to the importance of proof reading if the errors were typos) as he is just about to make applications for teaching positions?

What does a question mark indicate? You might take it as a rhetorical question......:D

Sorry I bothered asking such a question on what I thought might be a good site with people who can help me.
I will look elsewhere for answers where I hope to find people not so rude and unhelpful.
