Re: Public Schools/Grammar-Spelling (was: Reputations)

ive been to a private school most of my life and now im in a public school. im not talking on a general level here ... but teachers at my school this year dont really care about grammar and spelling except for English class. my bio teacher last semester honestly didnt care. and my physics teacher this semester only cares because he is British and he was penalized for every detail (that is what he says, not me ...) i remember when i was younger in elementary school (at a private school) my teachers were always so picky about spelling (more than grammar). we would lose half a mark for each spelling mistake and i remember one of my friends failed a test because he made so many spelling mistakes ... in grade 4.

I don't think any blame can be put on public education regarding this topic. In general, it's more about personal initiative to do work as to make progress - this goes for anything.
i agree .. anyone who has talked to me on msn/aim knows how bad of a speller i am. i really only spell properly for CD and school ... and i only use proper grammar for school
