Dorthy,
Dorthey didn’t capitalize “i” either, nor did she use the possessive (people’s) correctly. It’s so easy to criticize…. nobody’s perfect. Maybe Dorthey should stop reading these postings and concentrate on her own misgivings.
Dear Dorothy:
You wrote “maybe they should spend more time learning instead of getting thier nose in other peoples problems.”
You didn’t capitalize maybe in your last sentence and you misspelled their. You should have said “noses” not “nose”, unless of course you meant they all share the same nose. If you are going to criticize someone’s ability to write, you should take the time to do it right. Maybe you should spent more time studying the art of criticism and not so much surfing the internet.
I meant I know his Attorneys Investigator, who is working on his defense.
I know the investigator working this case, I would encourage everyone to contact this investigator and let him know what you know.
I would like to respond to the reply “Dorothey” has signed in with. Mr. Stubbs does not teach grammer. He teaches Forestry, Horticulture, and Fire Science. Besides that, the point is not how well they are spelling, but how wonderful these students think a “teacher” is. This is an uncommon act in itself and for the fact that they are standing up for him and for something they believe in, is impressive. These students have been around Mr. Stubbs for the past 3 years that he has taught at Henley. How can all of them be wrong and one be right. They believe in him and so that helps them learn more than school can teach them and because they care, it makes it their business whether they can spell or do brain surgery, it is important to them so they are more interested in learning.
To add to the rest of the comments…Kudos to the students that have stood up for what you believe. I am very impressed that you have all taken such an interest in this matter and have shown to all, even knowing that there are those that may or may not agree. Good job.
i just wonder why all these letters saying mr stubbs is such a good teacher have so many misspelled words in them. maybe they should spend more time learning instead of getting thier nose in other peoples problems.
i love jason he is a great man. I have know him for 11 years and for this to happen to a man like him is not cool with me.
