Darn right..Someone has to do it. Also teaching spelling on the side. Couldn't believe teachers didn't correct spelling because it shuts down creativeness.
Guess teachers have never read novels...

Depends on what the purpose of the assignment was or is, communications and stuff is a lot quicker nows days because of computers and the Internet. You do the best you can to teach them to spell correctly, but a more important skill is to teach them is to communicate, spelling may change over time.
