Kant Spel? Aparently we shudent cair.
According to recent comments from Ken Smith, a criminology lecturer at Bucks New University… A TEACHER;
“Instead of complaining about the state of the education system as we correct the same mistakes year after year, I’ve got a better idea, University teachers should simply accept as variant spelling those words our students most commonly misspell.”
So rather than doing the job an educator and educating your pupils, you’ve taken on the role of an enabler and are allowing your students to not only ignore their utter lack of communication skills, but to accept that the easy way out of a tough situation is the best.
Oh so what… you can’t spell, who is it going to hurt?
Try to get a job with a resume that reads like your kindergartner wrote it for you. My employer will stop reading resumes that are chock full of grammar and spelling errors and toss them in the trash, and I know of dozens more with the same type of policy.
If you lack the personal pride to be able to successfully communicate anything to anyone and require them to take the effort to essentially translate your phonetic garbage, then you have failed yourself.
Accepting wrong as right does NO good for anyone, especially the child who is learning that a cop out is acceptable. I’ve seen educators to afraid of damaging the self esteem of their students that they want to avoid telling little Johnny that two plus two does NOT in fact equal eleven, and in turn attempt to implement “feel good” math in their classroom so everyone feels great about themselves. You know what that gives us? A dip shit who can’t give me change for a $20 at Arby’s when my meal is $18.24.
If educators don’t want to be blamed for generations of socially ignorant citizens, then there’s one thing they need to do. Step up and ACTUALLY educate these kids, don’t worry about sending home notes to mommy that Johnny may need to lose a few pounds, and stop banning physical activities because someone might get a scratch. TEACH them.

I’d fire the teacher. Immediately.
