“…our students are come from extremely diverse backgrounds…”

a mistake anybody could make, but poignant here: ‘…our students have come…’ (or, present perfect: ‘…our students come…’).

Tina Tee, she’s not asking for spelling advise, she’s asking about correcting the sentence. A little more attention to detail would be called for, here, don’t you think?(By the way, your punctuation is seriously lacking.)

My father taught me how to remember the correct spelling of separate: There is “a rat” in separate.

Love your site

http://yourofficecareer.blogspot.com/ …. The students that come to this class are not going to a regular class. Our class is for those who are working on their GED or with ESL. Some have never seen a computer before. The programs that send us students are WorkForce, FarmWorkers, United for Families, and Vocational Rehab.

There are others… who lost their jobs and are trying to get better computer skills. We teach MS Office to everyone from the basic to the advanced. We teach those people who cannot get the skills they need through regular channels or cannot afford to pay.

Our goal is to give them a chance to learn how to post a comment on a blog. We cannot correct grammar and do not shun their comments because of it. The blog is for them only. They are a special group of students who work hard so they may find a better life

“My 8th grade English teacher taught us “Neither the weird financier nor foreigner seizes leisure at its height”

Liked this… will use it to help our students.

What so many commentators here are not aware of, is the fact that our students are come from extremely diverse backgrounds and education levels. Many are getting their GED at the same time that they are attending our class to acquire computer skills. A good number are ESL students, learning English.

Our goal is to encourage them. We are not out to impress others. The blog is used as a chace for them to learn how to put comments on a blog or website. Some have never used a computer before, so this is a totally new experience for them….

Thank’s for tips. Yeah often times I commit the same wrong spelling of word over again. You just said type the word ten times and so you can remember the write spelling of the word. Is a great idea.
