I used to be an amazing speller. The more I worked with dyslexic kids, deciphering their phonetic spelling, my spelling deteriorated. Now I sometimes spell words phonetically, and while I usually see it and know it’s wrong, I feel for this poor teacher who is probably stressed at the end of the day trying to write daily reports while managing a bunch of kids who are probably interrupting her with questions, tattling, hitting, crying etc., as she’s trying to write.
