English Teacher Receives “Fuck You” Letter From Student, Edits It To Highlight Asshole Senior’s Stupidity
Something tells me this English teacher at McKinley High School in Somewhere, USA, is probably “the man,” or “the woman,” because the response he or she gave after receiving a “Fuck You” letter from a presumably anonymous student is fucking awesome.
Not only did the teacher grammatically correct the shit out of the letter, making the student look like an imbecile, but he or she did it in a clever way so to avoid any punishment from the school’s administrators.
The teacher’s list of corrections is incredible, considering the letter is only a mere 101 words.
• Date?
• Formal writing should not include profanity.
• –> lowercase
• –> Run-on sentence
• Don’t start a sentence w/ a conjunction.
• –> (comma needed)
• should be lowercase
• comma splice
• –> Is the a better synonym for this?
• (capitalize “Wuthering Heights”)
• –> Underline or italicize of large works. Capitalize titles.
• (two more commas needed)
• (a smiley face is not appropriate punctuation)
• spellcheck “Sincerely,” yet another comma needed
• (write out McKinley)
• –> indent signature line
And the knockout punch:
*Please use your education appropriately. Proofreading takes five minutes & keeps you from looking stupid.*
In other words, the teacher pretty much said, “BOOM. You just got roasted, you high school chump. Fuck you for not taking your education seriously. Also, fuck you, because people like you make the world less intelligent, despite my best efforts. Good luck with the rest of your life. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
Well played, teach. I feel like this comeback is on the level of Mr. Turner from “Boy Meets World,” and it’s common knowledge he’s one of the coolest high school English teachers of all time.
From what I can infer from Reddit, the teacher left the note pinned to his or her door for the whole school to see.
Nice move.

I’ve seen this a 100 times. I swear y’all are starting to make articles from pictures posted on iFunny.
11 years ago at 1:59 pmOh god, that application is just teeming with 12-16 year old depressed turds. Dorn would approve, but I deleted it promptly.
11 years ago at 3:22 pmWtf is iFunny?
11 years ago at 3:41 pmiFunny is good if you subscribe to all the conservative and libertarian producers. Never fucking go in collective, ever.
11 years ago at 4:06 pmSo frat, so high school.
11 years ago at 2:02 pmMy last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My neighbour’s sister has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out.
This is what I do,,,,,,,,,

11 years ago at 3:22 pmif only this kid’s grasp of the english language matched his boldness
11 years ago at 1:11 amnot that bold. they didnt sign their name although i bet it wouldnt be too hard for the teacher to figure it out
11 years ago at 11:14 pmI’m honestly not surprised they can’t write correctly. It’s clearly a school for retards seeing as they are reading Wuthering Heights as seniors. We had to read that bullshit excuse of a book freshman year.
11 years ago at 9:39 amMust be a school for retards. It has nothing to do the fact that English IV classes are often centered around European literature. In addition, “we” implies a plural subject which you did not neccisarily specify. While not horribly incorrect, it does make you sound like a schizophrenic.
11 years ago at 7:00 amIt’s probably not a good idea to attempt to (unNECESSARILY) give a lecture about grammar with multiple basic errors in your own text. It is pretty easy to infer what “we” meant…
“they”. “seniors”. Context clues man, context clues.
11 years ago at 12:06 am“They” and “seniors” are referring to a different group not associated with the author of the comment in question. Again, not horribly incorrect, but chuckle worthy and appropriate given the nature of the article hitherto written. Watch your caps-lock button next time, chief.
11 years ago at 9:12 amDisappointing to see such a pathetic comment from an “Exec” status.
11 years ago at 8:39 amLook at all of the grammar Nazis coming out to grill people over their grammar in a comments section on the internet. Clearly this comment and setting is as formal as an academic one. Shall we bow down now?

11 years ago at 1:54 pmWhat I don’t get is, the student admits the teacher was a pretty cool person, why the “fuck you”? I can see writing a letter that you aren’t going to do the project but if the teacher was a good teacher…
11 years ago at 10:31 pmWho the fuck types a letter in blue-colored text?
11 years ago at 8:58 pmMe, when my printer is out of black ink. Then I continue to print in blue until my printer is out of color ink. Rinse and repeat.
