A young teacher in Ghana has sparked online discussion after displaying a handwritten letter written by her female student, Joy Nkrumah. The teacher, identified as Violet, posted the letter on TikTok, where it garnered over one million views.
Student's Letter Goes Viral
In the letter, Joy explains to the recipient, named Ramata, why the letter 'A' comes before 'B'. She also passes a message using an iPhone 12 Pro. Teacher Violet awarded Joy a perfect score of 10 out of 10 for the letter.
Netizens Question the Mark
Social media users quickly pointed out grammatical errors in the letter and questioned why the teacher gave such a high score. When asked in the comments, Violet replied: 'I gave her cus I felt guilty.'
Many netizens shared their opinions. One user, Bradley, commented: 'They always ask us to write a letter, but why doesn't it get to the recipient? Isn't that concerning?' Another user, STORM HEART, said: 'I thought it was 4 marks, but then I saw A and B and got confused.'
Gabby suggested: 'From my view, I can see how smart she is, but please correct 'reason I'm writing you this letter' to 'reason I'm writing to you this letter'. I respect your profession.' Pretty Baddy added: 'Please teach them that 'reason' and 'why' cannot be used together. It should be either 'the reason I'm writing' or 'why I'm writing you this letter'.'
Lancelot noted: 'This is my first time seeing a composition marked 10/10. Usually, the highest is 8/10.' Another user remarked: 'The student did well, but there are grammatical errors, so the marks should be reduced.'
