I am a total PIA when it come to correcting people who don't differentiate lay from lie, or who use the possessive rather than nominative pronoun as the subject of a sentence, as in Her/him and Joe went to the movies.

Re: [MBZ] ADHD
You know, it was close enough that we all knew what he meant. My children, now in their 20's were taught in our schools, that it was more important to get one's ideas on the page than it was to do it correctly. I guess, on the assumption that it could be later edited and perhaps that they would learn to spell etc., by osmosis and the teachers would not have to put any real effort into such boring sujects as spelling and grammar. The result is that one of my son's has managed to learn by himself - he has a Master's Degree now - and the other is never going to win any spelling bees etc. The younger one was quite happy not to have to worry about things like spelling and at the age of 22, still does not do well in that regard.

Re: [MBZ] ADHD
Our kids got that spelling doesn't matter just get your ideas on paper crap at school in the US too. When they got home, they were told that spelling does matter, and we tried to illustrate WHY it matters. One is finishing up his Ph.D. and the other spells and writes quite nicely too. These days, if you send your kids to school, you have to unlearn them at home and teach them properly anyway. So, you may as well homeschool in the first place.

Re: [MBZ] ADHD
I read somewhere that something like 70% of kids entering colleges must 1st take remedial courses to learn basic math and English.Sad... BTW, There's a TV commercial pushing a new reading where babies and young kids are shown reading at very young ages. They fail to mention, the kids have memorized the photos to know what word they represent. I went to Jr HS with a bunch of kids taught like this in the local school system in the 50s and 60s (very progressive you know). Trouble is when presented with a new word they have no clue what it says. So they're lost. Others, taught phonetically can sound the word out and read it properly often learning the meaning by the context it was used in in the sentence. People always want to take the easy route it seems. It's not always the best...

Spanish was all that was offered at my school. We had a Columbian to teach it. She was probably good at it, but nobody liked her much, and most of the better students would rather take something other than Spanish. I would have chosen German before Spanish. A friend and I discovered that our elderly English teacher had taught Latin, and the textbooks were still around. It mattered little that the textbooks were older than we were, Latin was a dead language and nothing changed since the books were printed. We recruited 15-20 other kids and lobbied for a Latin class. It was good. Too bad I've forgotten virtually all of it since then. Don't ask me to conjugate a Latin verb, even if I were allowed to pick the verb.

Re: [MBZ] ADHD
Etymology is good stuff! You can (ab)use it to: -poke fun at nonsense words (irregardless and inflammable come to mind...) -create new words by (in)appropriately utilizing appropriate prefixes and suffixes (signage comes to mind... As does converting nouns to verbs and vice-versa) -engage in other forms of wordplay; a classic example is the what is the opposite of progress one. -- John W Reames jwrea...@comcast.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On Nov 8, 2010, at 16:28, Mountain Man maontin@gmail.com wrote: Larry wrote: Others, taught phonetically can sound the word out and read it properly often learning the meaning by the context it was used in in the sentence.

Tough course, but fundamentally one of the most widely usable courses I recall in high school. Of course, any course that was hard was memorable, it seems.

Re: [MBZ] ADHD
The school our kids attended did try to teach spelling, but if the parents didn't also work with them at home, it didn't work. Some parents actively discourage learning at school - only sent the kids to get them out of their hair and to avoid trouble with the law. No wonder society is falling apart. When I read reports and email from people at work who don't know which word to use, or mismatch subject/verb, I usually discount what they have to say, if I can even finish reading it. No, getting it down on paper is NOT enough. Our three girls all graduated from ivies - and wrtie very nicely. Our son is in engineering school, and his writing leaves something to be desired, but the school is imphasising writing/communication skills, and he's learned the value at the two internships he's had.

When they got home, they were told that spelling does matter, and we tried to illustrate WHY it matters. One is finishing up his Ph.D. and the other spells and writes quite nicely too. These days, if you send your kids to school, you have to unlearn them at home and teach them properly anyway. So, you may as well homeschool in the first place. -- OK Don 2001 ML320 1992 300D 2.5T 1990 300D 2.5T 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
