Eh! Don’t look at me like that! Did I not say I want to set you up for success?
And it starts with a good vocabulary. I know that my English is not always correct, but I want you to be better than me, remember? While I was tutoring this 7th grader, she was confused when I told her we don’t say “it don’t”, but “it doesn’t”. She argued with me during the entire tutoring session about hearing everybody around her using the first version.
When school starts next Fall, you will be ready to impress your teachers.
