dear teachers

student: can i go to the bathroom?

teacher: i dont know can you?

if a teacher pulls this nonsense he deserves to be peppered with roadkill, seriously its a problem. im obviously not questioning my ability to go to the bathroom, im a grown man. history, math and science teachers, you arent being paid to correct my grammar, so stop it. yes, it was funny the first time i heard it in seventh grade but im not twelve anymore and it makes me want to throw things at you. the only time this is tolerable is if it comes from an english teacher, because its their job, but most of them have class so they dont say it. so non-english teachers next time you feel the urge to spice up your class with a little grammatical correction humor please dont. you may have to bite your tongue or slap someone in the face, but for all of us, please behave yourself and hold back the grammar police inside of you. its the right thing to do.
