[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'd think in a thread about teaching and education there would not be an incorrect usage of "it's." [/quote] If you're referring to "It's horrible out there . . .," you're wrong. "It's' is the correct contraction of "it is" "It," OTOH, its a possessive pronoun -- e.g., the cat is licking its fur. What bothers me is "If it wasn't for the students. . . . " in the OP's original post. Because it's a counterfactual conditional (there necessarily being students when the subject under discussion is school teachers), OP should have said "If it weren't for the students, I believe many teachers would quit." Contrast "If wishes were fishes we'd all swim in riches" with "If I wasn't in love with you, then I wouldn't put up with that crazy family of yours."[/quote] Title of the thread: "Dcps hates it's teachers"[/quote]
