More granddaughter suffered terribly because they insisted on not correcting their spelling errors....They wanted the kids to be FREE....to express their ideas...unencumbered by poor spelling and grammar!!

Several years ago, when I was looking for new employees, most of the young architectural graduates that applied for the positions displayed poor spelling and grammar. But, their penmanship was really horrible. In school, we were taught to write in block letters on drawing sheets; however, now that most use CAD, that ability has sadly disappeared.
Lately, I have been tutoring immigrants in English as Second Language (ESL) courses. Young Asians (Cambodian, Thai, Chinese, Korean), whose languages don’t use the Roman alphabet, seem to really concentrate in turning in exercises exhibiting good spelling and penmanship, if somewhat tortured grammar.
