Ideas are more important than spelling the words correctly. Same with punctuation and any other grammatical concerns. But how does one understand what these kids are writing when the words are spelled wrong and the punctuation is incorrect? When my children were in school, penmanship was dead. Cursive writing had been removed from the curriculum. Previously, it had been taught in third grade. It became a teach it if you have time thing. Then the fourth grade teachers berated the students because they didn't know how to write in cursive.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-10722933601697497802014-08-13T12:33:07.470-04:002014-08-13T12:33:07.470-04:00True.True.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-2798993948150828932014-08-13T02:31:37.514-04:002014-08-13T02:31:37.514-04:00What can I say, some people have no idea how to sp...What can I say, some people have no idea how to spell like who adds the extra e in awesome, oh yeah right all of us who know how to spell that's who................oh and you can't see wi fi what the hell..................lolJo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-67068272228905061992014-08-13T00:51:44.335-04:002014-08-13T00:51:44.335-04:00You can hear even more these days.

This weekend we were all wondering how they can teach kids to read by sight and how do you approach a new word if you don't know what a syllable is? <br /><br />And I told Ian this weekend that if they didn't teach penmanship in school Gramma Rita was going to teach him.

A recent conversation between two seventy-something, mall-walking men, “. . . back seat bigger than most living room sofas and when it came time for the winner to claim his prize, that ol’ Hudson was the second hottest car of the night . . .” inspired my latest short story. I wanted to follow them to hear more, but decided to let my imagination fill in the details.
