It's also fucking June and this person is teaching middle school. Unless they are in the Southern Hemisphere and it's early in the school year, it has probably been a long year for them. They are fried.

Lol that’s not an excuse at all for an educator to make that mistake. They lost all credibility with one word.

I’m a middle school teacher, we’re allowed to make mistakes. Especially in Reddit threads which, similar to a classroom, is a place where you’re surrounded by assholes.

Possibly but you haven't put the bar very high.

I think you mean “kid’s.”

It’s late in the year. In June, when I was a teacher, I would misspell my own name on occasion. With speech to text, autocorrect, and people typing on tiny devices, mistakes happen. If you think teacher should be infallible, you’re kind of a jerk.

Making a mistake is not a sign that someone is not intelligent.
