i was up to 27 when i decided to quit. There is too many, i will tell you that. I'd estimate 54-68. Periods where there should be commas, and thus, not followed by a capital letter after those periods. Sentence fragments make it so there are compounding errors. One mistake makes it automatically 3. Misspellings are strewn about in this article. "bumpS" The "oh, i am a teacher" is a mistake because it is thrown in at a later part, and should have been elaborated on earlier in the story. "askED" "only them two in clasS" should have been written as follows in parenthesis( It was only the two of them in the class, the girl and his twin sister.) A comma should follow the word "Later." And then, once again, something that should have been included as information at the beginning is added later with "his mother is also the boss." Which would have been better written as ( Also, his mother is MY boss) That statement isn't clear on what is meant by the word boss. It could be MY boss, or the boss of her children, or the boss of god knows what. I assume 'kis' is meant to be KID. If so, it should be clear which kid you are referring to. He probably should be refferred to by name, or at least by a moniker. "I told him repeatedly to sit down.," should have had quotation marks around 'sit down', although it would have been better written ( I repeatedly told him that he should sit down, and he did not listen. I HAD hoped that by giving 'attention only' to his sister, he would stop running around, but then he fell.) (The teacher who had COME in, hearing crying, then saw THE blood that started appearing, which I did not see.)
True, some of this might not be considered a "grammar" or "spelling" mistake, but bad writing is bad writing.

Will I get fired?
A kid (4 years old) bump his head. I did not see any blood and let him cry it out thinking that it was mostly just a fright. Oh, I am a teacher. Then another teacher came in and asked about the crying and why I was not attending to the kid but continuing to teach his twin sister. It was only the two on them in the class. Later, I heard the kid had to go to the hospital for a possible stitch. His mother is also the boss.
The kid was running on the benches. I told him repeatedly to sit down but he did not listen. I hoped that by giving only attention to his sister he would stop running around. And then he fell.
The teacher who came in had heard the crying, then he saw blood that started appearing. The blood I did not see.
Tons of capitalization errors. 3 spelling errors. The sentences are very short and awkward. I fixed a lot of the stuff. It would make it easier to read if you put everything in chronological order. The kid running first, then he falls, then the teacher comes in, then he went to the hospital. It would make it easier to follow what was happening. ALWAYS use spellcheck!

HOPE THIS HELPED SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

The capitalized words are just to emphasize where the problems are:
A kid (4 years old) bumpED his head. I did not see any BLOOD AND let him cry it OUT, THINKING that it was mostly just a fright.
Oh, I am a teacher. Then another teacher came IN AND ASKED about the CRYING WHILE I was not attending to the kid. INSTEAD, I was continuing to teach his twin sister. It was only THE TWO OF THEM IN CLASS. Later I heard the kid had to go to the HOSPITAL FOR a possible STITCH. His mother is also the boss.
The KID was running on the benches. I told him repeatedly to sit down BUT he did not listen. I hoped that by giving ATTENTION to ONLY his sister he would stop running AROUND, BUT then he fell.
The teacher who came in BECAUSE OF the crying SAW BLOOD, WHICH I did not see.
**So, not to jump all over your case, but so many people don't even use the spell-checking option on this site to fix basic mistakes. To help yourself figure out what's wrong with your writing, try reading it out loud. Pause for a half-second whenever you see a period (full stop). If it doesn't sound right, it probably isn't.

This would be better worded so it reads:
I was teaching a class consisting of only two children, the four-year old twins of the Headmistress. The male child was running on the benches, despite being told to sit down. At this point, I felt it would be more appropriate to ignore the bad behaviour and concentrate on educating his sister. Unfortunately, the boy then fell off a bench and bumped his head. I attended to him but could see no obvious injury. Although he was crying, I felt this was because he had given himself a scare rather than because he was hurt. I therefore went back to teaching his sister. Another teacher heard the crying and came in. This teacher noticed that there was now blood on the child’s head and I have since discovered that he has visited hospital for a check-up and may need his wound to be stitched.
(if the original was supposed to have been written by a teacher, I am very glad they are not teaching my children!)

There is way too many in there for you to be a teacher. I'm assuming that since you were in the gym that you don't teach English, I think that is probably wise. Also, is your shift button broken on your keyboard? Is that why you didn't capitalize anything? I'm not trying to be rude, just some constructive criticism. I'm hoping that your actually great at grammar and you wrote this while you were emotional about the incident so you didn't think of running spell check. Next time just run spell check and if it's really bad don't tell anyone you're a teacher. Good Luck!

Yes there are many grammar and spelling mistakes. I can't believe you are a teacher. Your standard of grammar and spelling is appalling for someone who is supposed to be teaching young children. Also you ideas on looking after children are very misguided. Nothing personal but I would not let you teach my child. You actually sound like a liability and I would bring the school to task if you where at my child's school. Sorry to be blunt but you did ask. Perhaps a change of career may find you a more suited profession. Good Luck.

...and you are the teacher? Pray, what are you teaching them?
Hmm, yes the boy is potentially hyperactive. Tell his mum to cut out all chocolate and crisps and then you will teach him. Factor in some running around in a safe open place (are there any left?) so he can let off steam.
It is more important to get * Capital letters at the start of sentences. Proper tense (asked not ask). Grammar, if you can manage it. Spelling is least important because the meaning should be failry clear if you get the other bits right. (See what I mean? lol)

Yeah , this has to be a joke, you can't possibly be a teacher with that sort of spelling and grammar, is English your first language?? Just try doing a spelling and grammar check on it. Like the others I'd point them all out but it would take far too long.

" I posted the question below. People have said that there are a number of mistakes. I picked up on a few, but not all. Are there really that many mistakes?"
Yes, there are loads of mistakes, in fact so many that I am not prepared to go along with this joke, especially since you don't appear to have as many in your actual question, which I have worked on!
