Some parents become so crazed about proper spelling that they actually create what I used to call "writer's constipation." The kid wouldn't write anything for fear of spelling something wrong. One parent actually had the nerve to bring me a very sweet note her daughter had written her before going to bed. It said basically that she loved her mommy; she was the best mommy in the world. Mommy asked me if she should have CORRECTED THE SPELLING and asked her daughter to write the note over. SERIOUSLY??? I loved Susan's story!!!!!karleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255643182617571864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291766504841418751.post-38296217392617280382011-10-30T21:00:42.207-04:002011-10-30T21:00:42.207-04:00Someday I'll be putting her Pulitzer Prize-win...Someday I'll be putting her Pulitzer Prize-winning novels on the shelf in my library!bredahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216098318849287384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291766504841418751.post-78176668991248730282011-10-30T14:28:48.027-04:002011-10-30T14:28:48.027-04:00CUTE!!

My wife teaches college, and I've seen some of the stuff she has to grade. Your daughter is already doing better than a good many of the college students.Broken Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562569871940946226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291766504841418751.post-61526995111951685562011-10-29T12:01:55.488-04:002011-10-29T12:01:55.488-04:00NFO nails it in one - she has better spelling, pun...NFO nails it in one - she has better spelling, punctuation, and grammar than some high school graduates.ZerCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347518441827166007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291766504841418751.post-86281597527350035742011-10-29T00:06:05.876-04:002011-10-29T00:06:05.876-04:00Anne McCaffrey wrote about that very thing, the cr...Anne McCaffrey wrote about that very thing, the creative magic, that "schooling" tends to suppress. It was a short story, "A Proper Santa", in the collection "Get Off The Unicorn".<br /><br />I read that recent study shows people learn a new language fastest -- from someone with their own dialect. After learning the language is the time to go back and learn "proper" pronunciation and usage.<br /><br />Blessed be!Brad K.http://www.draftresource.com/mytake/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4291766504841418751.post-46523624827166635272011-10-28T20:02:38.290-04:002011-10-28T20:02:38.290-04:00That's great!
