[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, I might cross out affect and write "no, actually EFFECT is correct" then send it back in with my kid to give to the teacher. Assuming he/she didn't take points off, does it really matter? Not a lot. But it would irritate me.[/quote] OP here. It matters only b/c this is a draft and apparently DD has to resubmit it as a longer paper. So what I told DD to do was nicely and quietly approach the teacher and explain she won't be making the change in her next draft because she had it right the first time. And told her to let the teacher save face if she is embarrassed (and involve her English teacher is science teacher is intransigent). Again, I know a lot of people struggle with effect/affect. But I honestly expect more of high school teachers, even those teaching non-English. [/quote]
