Retired English teacher corrects letter from Trump and sends it back to White House

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A retired high school English teacher says a letter she received from President Trump would have barely earned passing marks, so she corrected the letter and sent it back to the White House.

Yvonne Mason, an Atlanta resident who retired this year after teaching middle and high school students in South Carolina for 17 years, corrected grammatical mistakes in the letter bearing Trump's signature, including 11 instances of improper capitalization of words like "president" and "state."

"If it had been written in middle school, I'd give it a C or C-plus," Mason told South Carolina's Greenville News. "If it had been written in high school, I'd give it a D."

She did not attach a letter grade in the letter she sent back to the White House.

2. The letter isn't at the link.

Where did the photo of the letter come from. Can we see a better copy ?

4. Yes it is

Literally the first five seconds of the video at the link show the letter.

6. I was looking for a more readable copy than the one on the post that's from the video.

The video wasn't there when I first opened the link. The second time I saw the video.

Now where is that birth certificate Mr. Jowly?

7. From the article in The Hill:

"The teacher said the White House response did not address her request specifically."

For me, this is the most insulting part of getting a response back from an elected official. It says "you're not worth a real response, and, besides, I think you're too f*ing stupid to notice I sent you a form letter instead of a response."

9. Teachers are underpaid.

They struggle to obtain Masters and Doctorate Degrees to advance their career. The burden of debt is....

Do we want the best for our children, or are we willing to settle for the private school model?

10. I read the letter

It is a tremendous letter. Everybody knows. People are saying it's right up there with the Gettysburg Address. The language is of the highest level. Obviously written by a someone with a keen intellect; probably the product of a top private school education. This letter should be framed and placed in every classroom. Tremendous, just tremendous!

11. Thank you, Yvonne Mason!

She'll have to do the same with trump's letter to Kim also. (Whether trump actually wrote this letter or not) Tillerson was right...he IS a moron.
