Nu Shortcuts in School R 2 Much 4 Teachers
This blog is in response to an essay entitled "Nu Shortcuts in School R 2 Much 4 Teachers. Many students are texting, and emailing just as much as they write in school. The language and spelling in non-formal writing is appearing more and more on school assignments. Students need to turn off the texting form of writing and to know that the shortcut form of writing is not acceptable in a professional setting. Many students don't understand that they are hurting themselves by killing their grades with these shortcuts. This not only effects the students but it effects the teachers as well. Teachers are struggling to get their students to stop using this lingo and get back to what we all know as proper english and writing. It's amazing how much something as simple as a text or email can affect our way of writing. If things keep going the way that the are this might become a bigger problem than expected. It could effect a students' way of spelling permanently. Not knowing how to spell is just like not knowing how to read. Knowing how to do the two correctly is part of the key to success. You cant get as far as you could in life without those skills.
