First the commie libs decided that kids didn’t need to know how to write, now they’ve decided that kids shouldn’t be able to spell either. That’s how bass turds like Obama get elected.
During an open house back in 1994, I raised my hand to complain to my sixth grade daughter’s teacher that the spelling errors on her assignments were not being addressed. He said to me that with the age of computers, spelling was not an issue, what was important was the child’s ability to express themselves. They also are no longer taught long division or cursive. I went to work as an aide at the school, but left after one year. Could not stand the social engineering. Now, I homeschool my daughter’s son. You can bet he will learn how to spell, divide and handwrite.
Really, with improving text-to-speech software, what’s the point to bothering to teach reading anyway?
