The stupid, it burns!
Amy's middle school swim season starts this month, and they had the call-out meeting a few days ago. She came home with a packet of info from the coach, but the first thing she mentioned when handing it to me was how ATROCIOUSLY it was written. She said she could barely concentrate in the meeting because she was too busy counting the number of mistakes in the handouts. And this was written by a teacher. A PE teacher, granted, but come on! Don't they at least need to pass a basic English class to get their degree?
Anyway, the teacher/coach put together an email list for the parents and kids, and has been sending out info to keep us all updated. I am pleased to be kept in the loop.
Until I got today's email. This is just a taste of what the longer packet of material looked like:
____________
if you have not yet recieved a packet for swimming i have attached the files, i still have hard copies.
Swim suits have not been decided on yet, it will happen soon. Sport Fair is our supplier, when we decide on a suit you will need to go (if you choose to purchase one) you do not need the team suit to participate but you will need a suit without logos from your summer team or USS swim program,,,,
____________
And this is in a district that is supposed to be one of the best in the country. ARGH!!!
(BTW, the full packet was worse than this because there would be whole paragraphs with several sentences run together with no punctuation. My eyes! My eyes!)
