I'm not interested in reading " The Starr " report. Perhaps
retired Warwick school teacher, Raymond Turbit, will scrutinize it
for unforgivable errors in grammar.For old fashioned type of school
teacher, FORM was always more important than content. ( Perhaps President
Bill selects his girl friends on this basis ? ) .
Mr. Turbit detected a two-bit error in John Silber's spoken
English ( I assume ). He is just a Silber tongued orator, I guess.
" One must never use the plural " they " in referring to the
singular ' person ' ", explains the math teacher.
I will not judge Ray as a teacher, i suppose we should be grateful
for teachers who never stop teaching. ( " Capital I - idiot ! " )
But I recall a type of teacher that paralyzed a potentially
gifted student - a future ACHIEVER - by terrifying him about VIOLATIONS
of the RULES. Better leave the paper blank ! Better say nothing about
the feelings in your soul !
Did Ray ever tell a potential Einstein : " Hey dumbkoff, you
can't even add right ! "
The chairman of the Mass. Board of Education, John Silber, no
doubt, survived such teachers. But only to become one himself ?
