I teach fourth grade Language Arts. My subject is very tough. Recently, we focused on subject-verb agreement.
I tell my students over and over, " Never say we is or you is."
A young lady just happened to mention, after our lesson earlier in the week on correctly using forms of be, that she still says we is and so does her mama.
The following day this young lady brings in a poem she had written and gives it to her home room teacher. When asked about the poem, she said she got it off of a fan at church.
So, this morning in she comes with the fan! It was one of those old fashioned fans, and beside the poem she had corrected the grammar in the poem! These are the moments when I love my job the most.
Thought I would share the poem! Haha
We Is Friends
Me and you is friends
You smile, I smile,
You cry, I cry,
You hurt, I hurt,
You jump off a bridge...
I sho' will miss you.
