Badly Written, Badly Spoken / Re: So many serious grammar errors in six local textbooks teaching English!

This is ridiculous. The sentences sounds slang...don't fuss for a Grade Six student? Inappropriate.
Nurses going around the hospital injecting the patients! A grade 3 student reading this will only reinforce their fear of nurses. HEY I am a nurse...
"Nurses visit their client for a scheduled medication." sounds more appropriate and neutral.
"The rain and storm are needed to snuff out the heat in the air." SNUFF OUT? Very slang for a Grade six. The rain and storm are not actually needed to remove heat from air! Air conditioning units are actually needed but not a storm! Better way to say it is: The rain has the ability to dissipate heat from the surroundings.
"Reading a road map is a proof that you are a good reader" Citation please...
"Strong winds blow the rain inside the clouds. Bits of water break up causing electricity and lightning." I understand English teachers are not Science majors but the concept of rain and lightning is very basic. This is a so-so...Just like the balloon that they blew and blew...
Can anyone say DOCSiShQACNMN?
The best way to create a standard English book is to commission a panel of English experts here in the Philippines and abroad.
