Just a quick one today...

Want to know one of the most painful things about being an English teacher? Reading student essays. It's like they don't even bother to see if what they're writing even makes any sense - much less follow the rules of the assignment. And they wonder why I've become such a harsh grader...

Not an exact quote, but:

"In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, the story mentions a character named Macbeth."

Yeah...they mention him, but only in passing.

And there's some talk of murder, too, I bet.
