Have you ever been saved by divine intervention?

In the fifth grade our school plannd a camping trip out in the Texas hill country. My mom said that if I were to go I would first have to complete all my homework, clean my room, and wash dishes every day for a week. I didnt feel like doing my homewrok (I was in advanced clsses, so i had alot of work) and decided that I would complete half of now and the rest after I came back from the camping trip. Then, my mom told my teacher that the only wasy she would let me go was if I rode in her car.On the day of the trip, my mom took me to school, waited around a while, and left. About 10 minutes later, as I literally have one foot in the car and the other on the ground, my mother drives up honking like a psycho. She charged at me, yanked me by my arm out of the teachers car, and told me I couldnt go. Somehow she had found out that I did only haf of my homework.I usually get my way, but this time, no amount of begging would change her mind. I was on a level of rage that I had never been in before. Around three o clock in the morning the principal of my school called. She wanted to know if I had gone on the camping trip with Ms. Steiner. She told us she would call us back. Turned out that my teacher was hit head on by an 18 wheeler whose driver had fallen asleep at the wheel. My teacher and my friend Nancy were killed instantly. Crystal, Joanna, and jessica were in critical condition. They were in the hospital for weeks. I was supposed to be sitting in Nancys spot. I would have died. But for some reason I escaped the whole thing and I dont know why.

Your other moronic question "Why Blacks are so inarticulate?" got pulled, so here's my answer:
If your so educated then, from a linguistic point of view you ought to take a persons dialect for face value. A person of true education does not assert their values upon the world they only interpret what the world has to offer. You are in no position to make a value judgement about the way someone else speaks. If your a high school language teacher you should consider being less prejudice and learn to interpret the world you have and not the world you want. As a professional linguist at college level, I assure you that the prescriptive grammarian attitude you employ will not allow you to make a no bias assessment of your students speech. Analysis what it is and not what you want it to be. All persons of all races and economic class structures are creating the same level of complex speech. If you were my student I would fail you.
