Epic Grammar Fail

My little freshmen had an assignment due today.

For the love of all that's holy, shouldn't you know by the age of 18 about subject/verb agreement? Or thesis sentences? I mean, really. I know I play fast and loose with grammar, but I'm a blogger. Hamilton and Jefferson would not appreciate your tendency to write things like:

"It is intrinsikally natural for the president to have complete control after the second Tuesday in Nov. had ended, That is why our government discourages public participation."

(loosely paraphrased to protect the grammatically negligent). I do not know what to do with that either, dear reader. I am hurting in my puzzled head. It seems we will be starting back at square one: do they not require composition classes here?

If tomorrow's headline is: "30 Freshman Beaten to Death by Maniac Wielding Strunk and White," send me a cake with a file in it. Or a tiny, tiny rock hammer.
