A passionate first-year English teacher for Junior High has taken to TikTok to call out the level of education students are receiving in schools across the U.S. and has claimed that the situation in her classroom was only made worse by the school principal’s puritanism over books.
The TikToker who goes by “wickedwomenauthor” said that her seventh- and eighth-grade classrooms were struggling with basic concepts of language and writing. According to her, she has students who “can’t spell basic words, who don’t know where to put punctuation, who don’t know that I’s need to be capitalized when they’re standing on their own.”
