In a newspaper article on June 13 in the Sun Journal entitled “Telstar Regional High School graduates 50,” some misquotes occurred. The one that bothers me is the one stating “You were the last class that me and Mr. Hoy had before we retired, and we’re pleased to be here to see you out.”
This may seem like a small thing to complain about, but with my 32 years as an educator and with education being looked at through a microscope it is a big thing to me.
I checked the graduation film before I wrote this letter and it shows I used correct grammar: “Mr. Hoy and I.”
It was embarrassing to me to have people think that I would speak that way in public, and especially at a graduation.
