Slayer’s Suicide Letter a Grammar Lesson
Quebec students are learning grammar from a suicide letter written by Mark Lepine--the man who shot dead 14 women at a Montreal university three years ago.
Local newspapers reported Friday that Grade 10 students at Le Petit Seminaire in Quebec City are using the note--which was found on Lepine after he killed himself right after the slayings--to find and correct grammatical and spelling mistakes.
School principal Louis Bouchard defended the decision to use the letter. “It’s a public letter and it already had the mistakes,” Bouchard told the Canadian Press news agency.
