Like, I don't think like the band director like is putting them on the part with like the intention of making the band like sound bad. Like, sometimes its better to like, make sure all of the like parts are covered and like, oboe is a tough instrument, so like, give them a break, like, ok? And like, could it be possible like, that maybe your band director, like, knows something that you don't and like, maybe by putting a player on a part that is like, challenging, like it gives the like mediocre oboist like something to strive for with the hope of like, improving.
Forgive me if I'm not taking your post very seriously, however, while I understand that this is an internet forum and correct grammar, spelling and punctuation aren't absolutely necessary, when I see a post with a blatant disregard for the aforementioned writing attributes, I can't help but to take it less seriously than I would if the post was well written.
Getting back to the subject of your less than stellar oboists, many times high school students tend to forget that band class is not always about achieving the highest performance standards. Sometimes it's about simply exposing students to music, and giving them the opportunity to be part of something bigger than themselves, even if they aren't the best of players. I can only stress to put trust and faith in your band director. Not only have they been in your current position at some point in their past, they also have the benefit of 4+ years of higher education and the experience that goes with it. In many ways they have "been there, done that" so to speak, and have an experienced viewpoint from which they can draw when contemplating certain decisions that affect the students they teach, and the ensembles they put together.
My advice to you would be to worry less about the oboe players and worry more about your part in the whole scheme of things. Also, there are many word processing applications that have grammar and spell check - it might not hurt to check into them.
