I'm 50 tomorrow went to primary school that had spelling test every Friday. Attended local comprehensive where my English teacher Mrs Laing was very strict.
I'm of a generation where spell checker and predictive text is still new. I paid attention in class and on the rare occasion I happen across a word I don't know I look it up!
Strange I know, but I can also add, subtract, work out percentages, square roots et al without the aid of a calculator.
I just think it sad that after spending a fortune on the education system our children are leaving school not fit for the world of work!
We should be up in arms not say in effect "so what!" | |||

I was referring to your general comment about how many people could spell without a spell checker and pointing out I could: a personal comment to a general comment.
I don't recall constantly talking about my education: as a black child I along with others were seen as thick and were in "special" classes because we spoke like our parents: patois, which was "unacceptable". Everything seems to be acceptable now as long as it's understood, which is not fair to children because it is limiting, whether we like it or not!
From my experience people get help in filling out application forms and get found out at the interview stage. Demoralising as many don't know they have a problem as no one is correcting them.
That is the sad thing, the system failing some of our children. My children had the same education I had, local inner city primary school and over crowded comprehensive where the majority of children didn't have English as a second language.
I daresay if I mention my daughters all went to uni, I'd be accused of going on about that too. | |||

"When I was kid at school, I suffered with what’s now called glue-ear so causing hearing difficulties, I was also short sighted and from memory I now realise it was years before it was noticed. Although I’ve not had any tests I also believe I’m at least slightly dyslexic. All of this was carefully diagnosed by such experts as my parents and teachers, yes you’ve got it, I was diagnosed a stupid useless lazy little boy left at the back of the class to rot. Where some kids might have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth I was born with a spanner in one hand and a screwdriver in the other, I was lucky to be born with a talent for all things engineering and in spite of my weakness in academic matters my talent pulled me through. Fortunately in those days companies looking for engineers were looking for engineers not experts in English composition/spelling, as a youngster I didn’t get the job that required an application form filling in because such a thing would make me look like the diagnosis mentioned in the first paragraph... idiot! However not wishing to show off, from my very early 20’s application forms were not a barrier because companies were seeking me not me seeking them and while still having no formal qualifications whatsoever I have doctors and professors of physics requiring my engineering expertise. Conversely to what some of you are saying about computers further bastardising English and education, for me it has provided the opposite. The advent of text messaging on mobile phones, emails, Internet text chat, indeed such things as these forums give me cause to write. Spell checkers provide me with constant spelling tuition, text messaging, emailing etc. give me plenty of practice and the abundance of very poor standards of spelling and composition of others provide plenty of examples of how not to do it. Diamondsmiles mentions a person put off posting in the forums because of spelling issues, you will probably find the person also has difficulty reading too. Reading for me is in fact relatively hard work and where others can’t be bothered to finger the shift key and or add some punctuation and check spelling it can make things VERY difficult for those of us who genuinely has a lesser ability with written English. And if anyone is wondering yes this was written with the aid of a word processor and I still often make errors in the manor of manners and manors "What a great post - could not have put it better myself | |||

" It also gives you something to think about when the teacher who writes your childs school report is incapable of spelling simple words! " But that's the irony of the situation! Some people on this thread are saying spelling doesn't matter and people be given a chance. Maybe someone gave your son's teacher a chance as spelling doesn't matter! | |||

"Funny how this subject has come up when in the news they are saying that loads of kids are mis-diagnosed with learning difficulties!!! Hmmmmmmm" Not sure about other areas, but our children were diagnosed by a number of tests set by the LEA. The ammount of help dyslexics get in our area is minimal, but can't say if this is the same nationwide. It also took nearly a year from diagnosis for the funding for the help to become available. It's the sheer determination and hard work put in by our sons that got them where they are today. | |||

" It is incredibly difficult to get a child corrcetly diagnosed as suffering from autism. I suspect there is more to it than never having seen a cow, or being serious, being socialised. Being socialised will not overcome autism. " I have a family member who is autistic and one who has aspergers. the autism is fairly obvious for all to see and was diagnosed fairly early on in life, the aspergers, the child was 15 before a diagnosis was made | |||

" you may laugh at my phrases of context mr MUSHROOM - be in the dark and fed shit, But itt was a sloght comparism, As in children are MIS - DIAGNOSED witrh stuff the ARE NOT illness or disease but the fact they are not brought up properly and made to socialise! That child has no friends, no life, no nothing - cos his parents never take him anywhere not even to the local park. So take the piss all you like mushroom- i am not in the dark chick. | |||

" Well, found my new hero on site! I have been saying this on various threads for a while about how people don't have an opinion on anything if it doesn't directly affect them! That sir, is a perfect representation of my opinion! Nicely put... On spelling... I do think it is important for people to be able to spell correctly! It is important to not only be able to communicate with people whose first language is English, but also people overseas who don't have the advantage of knowledge of "slang spelling".. I deal with quite a few overseas companies and I have to be able to spell correctly as most run letters and emails through a translation program if it is for general consumption. Slang spelling just doesn't work! I think the thread has been diverted somewhat to take it in the direction of Dyslexia! As far as I see it, the OP didn't open this thread about Dyslexia, it was about kids leaving school and not being able to spell. Dyslexia is quite another thing. Everyone applying for a job has the right and opportunity to say about any conditions they have that they may need either help with or need extra training. Silly thing is, I as an employer cannot ask that question! No, Dyslexia is not the issue here, it is either the crap education system or a society where parents no longer see their kids as possible little monsters and don’t back the system! I would guess that there are some from each camp posting on here… | |||
"What’s all this bollocks about meat eaters and ‘their poor little faces’ on the animals as they jolly into the slaughterhouse… What about the poor plants and fruits! Just because a lettuce doesn’t run away when you go to pick it or scream when you cut it doesn’t mean it’s any less barbaric to consume the poor things! At least us meat eaters have the decency and compassion to kill out meat humanly by stunning with a serious punch in the head with a bolt before ripping the neck open with a chainsaw so the animals heart can pump out the blood for us and so its ready to eat sooner. Do you not realise that even a lettuce will always do the best it can do to survive, after all, have you ever seen a lettuce commit suicide? NO, and if it did have legs, do you think it would just sit there and let you eat it? Of course not it would run like fuck in a bid to preserve its own existence! Veggies are just so cruel, at least us meat eaters eat our food when it’s dead, we don’t eat it alive!!! But here’s the thing that brings it all into line… can vegetation read and spell? NO, can animals read and spell NO… so fuck it, we might as well eat them cos they will never get a meet on here! "Let's go even further, cannibalism. Perfect answer to overcrowding, housing issues, crime, old age and bad driving, maybe even bad spellers too!!! | |||
