  1. English Class What's the point?

  2. And you have a good point. If you never took another English class from this day forward, you would have the basic skills needed to get by in some jobs. But…

  3. Many years of this...seriously!? You're probably thinking this right now.

  4. And you're probably not alone.

  5. How many of you think English class is unneccessary since you already know how to read and write in English?

  6. You would struggle if you: • Plan to go to college • Plan to earn a living • Want to better understand other subjects (like math, science, history) • Want to form educated opinions on world events and issues • Want to become a critical thinker

  7. In order to achieve these things…

  8. You'll learn to effectively communicate with your peers.

  9. You'll be exposed to great literature…

  10. …both old and new.

  11. You'll find creativity you never knew you had. “Soft” written by an LMJ student Socratic Circles

  12. You'll learn to write various types of essays, responses, documents--incorporating technology, of course.

  13. Blah...blah...blah.... Your brains have already shut down now, right!?

  14.    So... here's the REAL reason you need English class: Because all that previous stuff--while vital to your educational success--sounds BORING.

  15. So you don't look like an idiot, like these folks...

  16. Even if this was just a computer glyph error and the commas were actually apostrophes, it’s STILL wrong. “Type’s” and “tool’s” are not possessing anything--especially a “sharp end”!

  17. But I thought this was the Guide Dog’s toilet. So if no vehicle is “tresspassing,” why do we need the sign?

  18. Yes, we all want you to carefullyslip and fall down, rather than clumsily slip and fall down.

  19. Where do I begin?

  20. Yummmm… I just LOVE Lobter-Beef-Shtimp & Chiken Suop!!

  21. It’s almost as good as the Shtimp Suop!

  22. What caused the explosion? A gas leak? And you couldn’t find the gas valve because… Oh, I see. This is the “gas vavle”.

  23. English class to sign writer the entrance bekons. (With Yoda too much time was spent.)

  24. English Class Back You Go

  25. Because we wouldn’t want you to arrive after your departure…

  26. Probably not at itis best.

  27. Well, I know you won’t be earning a star…

  28. We have cute LECKNACES, too!

  29. And up “ahaed” you’ll glimpse a future without English class.

  30. So, TP that tree up ahaed?

  31. Is this for Trekkies?

  32. But the sign said “DRIVE IN”!

  33. From The Committee “ortherised” to dumb down America.

  34. Must be written by the same committee…

  35. Would you hire this person as your personal typist?

  36. “YA I GOT DELIVERYS FOR SOME CANDYS BERRYS AND PASTRYS THANKS UPS”

  37. For some Meace of Pind, stay at…

  38. And they probably do New Job’s, as well as Repair’s!

  39. Found in the locker room right here at LMJ…

  40. Unfortunately, even the college educated and professionals forget essential editing skills learned in English class. I’d like to buy a vowel, Pat. Well, I’ll need a few…

  41. How many people looked at these before someone noticed the errors? Left, engraved on the Stanley Cup. Great job, “Ilanders”!

  42. Sometimes it’s all about the placement of signs.

  43. Or the placement of punctuation. Please don’t smoke your food or your pet!

  44. The difference one comma can make… The pecans are just the added bonus!

  45. And this was “perpared” by an “honors” university. Nor is it too soon to add English to your curriculum!

  46. I hate being distrubbed!

  47. Uneasiness: an understatement if flying with this airline.

  48. And Hoppy New Yaer!

  49. Hands off! This is Holiday’s. And nobody else’s! (Except maybe Marry’s or Happe’s.)

  50. Because being a 1, 2, or even a 3 hour leader just isn’t the same.
