A tear falls; reality is cruel, isn't it?

One year, she received lab papers written like text messages.

I'm talking like, "4" instead of "four" and other such internet slang.

Just the thought of it made me a bit sick. I mean, who writes an entire LAB PAPER like that? gonk


You saw the season's final colors...

If I was a teacher and was handed that I would just shred it and give the student a zero.

I would too... which is a good thing that I'm not going to be a teacher.

Exactly! The classroom is no place for text talk. Such work deserves nothing but an "F".

Yep, I'm not for teaching.

I would give the student an "F" and then keep it as an example of how not to do a lab. but that is just me. I mean, I'd rather have people see what not to do and then if they do it it would be shredded and given a zero. Then again, teaching science is not for me.

You'd think that, at the very least, people wouldn't text talk on school work. That's just sad.

You'd think, but I've read notes and work from people in my English class and others and they use it in everything. It's rather sad.

It's bad enough that people do it on the internet...but in school? That, in my humble opinion, is a sign of true stupidity and/or illiteracy.

I understand using shortcuts when taking notes in classes. Sometimes you don't have enough time to write out "government" or "defendant" or "environmental" or whatever. I use abbreviations all of the time.

But that should be the only time you use abbreviations. When you turn in a paper, it should never use shortcuts or text talk. I hope your teacher gave them an F and made them re-do the paper. And then saved it to share with students the next year. "This is what you'd better not do if you know what's good for you..." 3nodding
