What makes you think that just because she was struck in the head that this is an attempted robbery??? Is a simple assault that’s it.

#2, True, there are schools all over, but poor writing and spelling are all over the place. It’s not limited to any particular group or class anymore. I even see incorrect writing in newspapers! Rules of writing, grammar and spelling just don’t seem to matter anymore. It can drive the rest of us crazy when we read it, though!
