[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child handed back science paper entitled "The effect of XXX on YYY." Teacher crosses out "effect" in the title and throughout and writes in "affect." Let it go? Point it out? Laugh morosely about it at home and shake our heads? It's a science teacher, not an English teacher. But, come on... a teacher should know the difference between affect and effect, right?[/quote] Does your DC have to turn in another draft of this? If so, find something on the internet that explains the difference, give it to your DC and have DC tell the teacher DC did research and effect is correct. Have DC show the research. If the teacher still says no, let it go. Not worth it. [/quote]
