Yeah, lets all just blame the teachers eh ?

the way they teach them to write at school is a bit strange, well I think so anyway, but then i'm an old duffer. It never fails to amaze me when people get their homophones muddled, especially their, there and they're. but in the big scale of things, its really not that important.

A lot of factors are to be blamed.

I find it really annoying when people hide behind the fact that they are Dyslexic, wherein they have actually been let down by the awful education system of this country.

I'm really starting to think that Steve and I are related in some way! Another one of his posts I agree with.

I just think its crap the way teachers are supposed to educate children plus be social workers, psychologists, and all the rest of the things that most parents are meant to do. Give em a break and some extra wages.

My daughter's misspellings were never corrected. I asked the teacher why and she said that it would make the children feel like they were failures.

I don't mind a few spelling errors but, like Fizz, it's textspeak that I don't like.
