In my upper level, including MBA finance/economic papers we were required to write, points were deducted if we wrote over 9/10 grade levels. The only thing that had to be absolutely correct was the math and the principles behind the math.

Great for me as spelling and grammar are NOT my forte. When I was an instructor at a junior college, I learned at one of my teachers in-service seminars that just as music and art skills are a part of the brain function, so is spelling, and is not a measure of intelligence.

Wasn’t Albert Einstein a horrible speller and I’ve read he didn’t have any common sense?

Couldn’t even fill up a car with gas.

That is very true. After years of tutoring, I saw quite the range. Some remember spelling after a glance, most need the structured lessons of spelling to sound patterns along with regular practice, and a few just never quite get there.

I took piano lessons a few years ago. What a complete waste of time. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn’t remember those darned notes either on paper or keyboard. It was so frustrating lol.
