By the time a child gets to school their parents and the people around them will have taught them to speak. Where do you get the idea that many teachers can barely speak proper English? |

You may want to take your 'pish' out of the kettle.
I think the 'couple' in this instance is a collective noun so treated as singular - so it may be correct to refer to them using 'is'..
On the other hand, a statement such as 'a couple of people....' is plural.

If that's the case it might be worth having a chat with the head teacher especially if it's a primary school and they'll be teaching literacy. |

Yep - I'd agree. If it's a common issue, I'd speak to a senior member of staff.
I can sympathise with teachers who have to write reports though. 30 children per class - one teacher could have perhaps 3-4 classes per year group - which leaves 90-120 reports - and many (though not all) parents don't even bother reading the reports for non-core subjects - and are mostly interesting in levels or grades anyway.

It certainly is...
"Can't be arsed"
Idiom:
To be seriously demotivated.
To be disinclined to get off one's arse.
To be unwilling to do something.

In Hull people say 'I aren't' instead of 'I'm not' which always makes me chuckle (especially if they say 'I'm aren't stupid'). Also people tend to say 'I'll borrow you this money' instead of lend or 'I'll learn you how..' |

Being truthful at the moment I think that's the least of her problems.
We go through school work and correct the children where necessary... I am not the best at English being dyslexic but do my best to try and keep improving myself. Frisky on the other hand has just done her English and Maths GCSE's so is in a great place to help the children... |

But aluminum is correct - in the American language. Just as, alas, cesium (in place of caesium) and encyclopedia in place of encyclopaedia is their standardised (standardized in the US) spelling.
In fact there is even international agreement by the IUPAC that both aluminum and aluminium can be used.
Pet hates of mine - agree very strongly with an earlier poster re "could of" and "should of" for "could've" and "should've". My other pet hate is "less" used when "fewer" is correct. For those not familiar with the issue, it is "fewer" when you could count them, but "less" when it is continuous so e.g. "drink less beer and eat fewer mince pies!"
