English with Claire
1st rule of English:
Alot is not one word, but two. A lot. Do. Not. Ever. Forget.
2nd rule of English:
Reading is not homework. If I don't give you homework, I am gifting you more time to spend with literature. I expect this gift to be well used and appreciated.
3rd rule of English:
Abilities and skills you show are counted towards your final grade. Mistakes you make are not held against you. If you knew everything already, what use would school be? Therefore, try and fail as much as you can now, where you have support.
4th rule of English:

5th rule of English:

6th rule of English:
Anything I say, pretty much.
