State senator mends fences with e-mailer in 9th grade ☀
The e-mail was an unbroken string of sentences with no punctuation.
Gray noted this in her pointed response: “I have grave concerns on your ability to pass the AIMS language test,” she wrote.
“Why didn’t you take to (sic) time to write an e-mail with the proper punctuation? By your poorly written e-mail, your example tells me that all the money we have spent on your education shows a lack of learning on your part.”
The e-mail ended up circulating among the student’s friends and teachers at Sunnyslope, a local TV station and on the liberal Daily Kos blog.
Gray was even more mortified when she heard the student has special needs, something she learned when the girl’s physical-education teacher sent the senator an e-mail.
