This is a great example of why some students may not write, as they are worried about the spelling, punctuation and grammar instead of the idea. This is on the same level of people who get angry when they are having an online discussion with someone and instead of responding to the discussion, they insult the spelling of the person they are chatting with. ]]> 2018-11-16 02:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tom_clarke1/h786lwt5ig0w/wish/305102245 Hilarious nataliebeals https://padlet.com/tom_clarke1/h786lwt5ig0w/wish/305102256 He's pretty funny, but he's still breaking the law and should probably live and let live with other people's signage.]]> 2018-11-16 02:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tom_clarke1/h786lwt5ig0w/wish/305102256 https://padlet.com/tom_clarke1/h786lwt5ig0w/wish/305102296 Much better ways to benefit society.
