Sure it’s a little thing. Sure Susan thought I was nuts.
I don’t care. I think it’s important.
A local school had a fabulous increase in standardized math test scores. Very cool. In the local paper, the Principal said, “The significant jump is due to the hard work and dedication of our teachers and administrators—and is not the typical increase one would expect in a year.”
Quiz: What’s wrong with that quote?
Okay, it’s a rhetorical question. I’ll provide my “slightly” altered version: “The significant jump is due to the hard work and dedication of our students and teachers and administrators—and is not the typical increase one would expect in a year.”
Am I a nitpicker? Or not? Your call.
(PS: Flu struck—hence my small contributions of late. Ha! Haven’t missed a speech. Off at noon for Key Biscayne for Merrill Lynch.)
