[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of current teachers came of age during the whole language movement. For example, I remember having a spelling list about everything in a firehouse. Now those 80s and 90s kids are teaching. I’d be more bothered by grammar mistakes.[/quote] Tests are unfair or racist to those who don’t study. [/quote] I’m not sure you’re understanding. Phonics-based spelling tests might cover three letter words with a short e. When I took spelling tests during the 90s, they were thematic. So maybe I was given a test on animals, but no specific phonics skill. Brute memorization is a terrible way to learn spelling, even if I did do well on the tests.[/quote] English has a lot of loan words that aren't spelled phonetically as well as words that sound the same but are spelled differently to impart different meanings. insure, ensure, assure weight, wait know, no The only way to know those meanings is to know those spellings. No?[/quote]
