Spelling?
I know it's really hard to revise your own work, and teachers are very solitary workers.
But is it too much to expect that a teacher spells dialogue correctly in a PowerPoint presentation that he's asking students to copy word for word?
Does he even know that it's not dialog? It's weird, because otherwise this guy was mostly really good with his kids. He's a teacher that teaches to coach and prefers lower level kids, but his class was helpful for insights into working with regular (or lower) level students.
What is the ettique on situations like that? He didn't seem to want to talk to me too much before/after class to share ideas like the others did, but he's teaching the same PowerPoint to all his sections of the class, I'm sure. It seems like it's already out there--I've seen typos before in less obvious ways, and if the handouts are already printed its wasteful to print another just to change one mistake. A PowerPoint is a different story. Actually, I'm not even sure if it's his presentation. He may have found it online, in which case there may not be much he can do to change it.
