I think my biggest pet peeve is being called "Miss" by my students. My name is Misty and having students call my "Miss" is like a derivative of my first name. Not only that, but it is laziness on their part. I learn their names; they need to learn mine (Mrs. Monreal) and use it.

I think I have another pet peeve - in fact, I know I do....
atrocious spelling and incorrect English! Their, there, your, you're, we're, were, here, hear, to, two, too, basic stuff that we all learned in GRADE school. People have a major tendency to claim that it "doesn't matter, people know what you mean". Do they? I went to school in two different states and both taught English, Spelling, Grammar, all through grade school and high school - all required subjects. Why would anyone who went through school be so willing to post in a public forum and not make at least an effort to check their spelling? Why show the whole world that you don't care about how you present yourself? Who decided that "spelling doesn't count"?
I see major mistakes on news broadcasts, in newspapers, on billboards - it's getting ridiculous....
Off my soapbox now...... (and let's all hope I didn't make any spelling errors LOL)

My own children are not going to a public school because it seems we are about making the kids feel good about themselves, not providing a quality education. It is worth the $10,000+ I pay a year (just for grade school) to give them a chance to get a quality education.
