The the impotence of proofreading By Taylor Mali www.taylormali.com
Has this ever happened to you? You work very, very horde on a paper for English clash And still get a very glow raid (like a D or even a D=) and all because you are the liverwurst spoiler in the whale wide word Yes, Proofreading your peppers is a matter of the the utmost impotence.
This is a problem that affects manly, manly students all over the word. I myself was such a bed spiller once upon a term that my English torturer in my sophomoric year, Mrs. Myth, she said I would never get into a good colleague. And that¹s all I wanted, that's all any kid wants at that age just to get into a good colleague. Not just anal community colleague, because I wouldn¹t be happy at just anal community colleague.
I really need to be challenged, challenged menstrually I needed a place that would offer me intellectual simulation, I know this makes me sound like a stereo, but I really wanted to go to an ivory legal colleague. So if I did not improvement or gone would be my dream of going to Harvard, Jail, or Prison (in Prison, New Jersey).
So I got myself a spell checker and figured I was on Sleazy Street.
But there are several missed aches that a spell chukker can¹t can¹t catch catch. For instant, if you accidentally leave out word your spell exchequer won¹t put it in you. And God for billing purposes only you should have serial problems with Tori Spelling your spell Chekhov might replace a word with one you had absolutely no detention of using.
Because what do you want it to douch? It only does what you tell it to douche. You¹re the one with your hand on the mouth going clit, clit, clit. It just goes to show you how embargo one careless little clit of the mouth can be.
Which reminds me of this one time during my Junior Mint. The teacher took the paper that I had written on A Sale of Two Titties No I'm cereal, I am cereal she read it out loud in front of all of my assmates. It was the most humidifying experience of my life, being laughed at pubically.
So do yourself a flavor and follow these two Pisces of advice: One: There is no prostitute for careful editing. And three: When it comes to proofreading, the red penis your friend.
Spank you

What is Slam Poetry?
Slam poetry is a form of performance poetry that occurs within a competitive poetry event, called a "slam", at which poets perform their own poems (or, in rare cases, those of others) that are "judged" on a numeric scale by randomly picked members of the audience.
Taylor Mali is considered to be the most successful poetry slam strategist of all time, having led six of his seven national poetry slam teams to the finals stage and winning the championship itself a record four times before anyone had even tied him at three, Mali was one of the original poets to appear on the HBO original series "Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry." He was also the "golden-tongued, Armani clad villain" of Paul Devlin's 1997 documentary film "SlamNation," which chronicled the National Poetry Slam Championship of 1996, the year of Mali's first national team championship.

What Teachers Make, or Objection Overruled, or If things don't work out, you can always go to law school
By Taylor Mali www.taylormali.com
He says the problem with teachers is, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"
He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about teachers:
That those who can, do; those who can't, teach.
I decide to bite my tongue instead of his and resist the urge to remind the other dinner guests that it's also true what they say about lawyers.
Because we're eating, after all, and this is polite conversation.
"I mean, you're a teacher, Taylor" "Be honest. What do you make?"
And I wish he hadn't done that (asked me to be honest) because, you see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: which is, if you ask for it, then I have to let you have it.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional medal of honor and I can make an A- feel like a slap in the face. How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best.
You wanna know what I make?
I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall in absolute silence. No, you can not work in groups. No, you can not ask a question (so put your hand down) Why won't I let you go to the bathroom? Because you're bored and you don't really have to go, do you?
You wanna know what I make?
I make parents tremble in fear when I call home at around dinner time: "Hi, This is Mr. Mali, I hope I haven't called at a bad time, I just wanted to talk to you about something your son did today. he said, "Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don't you?" And it was the noblest act of courage I have ever seen.
I make parents see their children for who they are and who they can be.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids question. I make them criticize. I make them apologize and mean it. I make them write, write, write. And then I make them read. I make them spell definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful over and over again until they will never misspell either one of those words again. I make them show all their work in math. And then hide it on their final drafts in English. I make them realize that if you got this (brains) then you follow this (heart) and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you give them this (the finger).
Let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true: I make a difference! What about you?
