Eastern NE KS | I agree. A good object lesson would be the educator taking this example of poor work, leading the class through correcting it and explaining why the standards are present.
The educator titled it as a 'note'. Perhaps thinking the standards do not apply. When read 2 or 3 times, I got the cheery flow. However, it is fundamentally disrespectful for a person to place that burden on the reader. I feel the educator should do both, express the appropriate mood AND do it within the standards of written English. Without this level of professionalism how can parents ever expect education is being done.
My thoughts went down a rabbit hole of disappointment and disgust at the educator's lack of professionalism. I thought of taking the note, marking it up with corrections, returning it to the teacher and explaining my disappointment in the work product.
I suggest the modern line in the sand that needs to be supported is this: If the work product will be read by more than one person, then spelling and punctuation is important to communicate clearly. A author cannot assume all readers will comprehend the message as intended without that effort on the author's part.
