With text phones, there will be fewer young people knowing how to spell. Even schools do not teach spelling like they did in the 'olden' days. Maths is now also done more with calculators and computers - stands to reason no body can spell, add or read
The instructions are simple...
Under the system we went through...just.
Today it would be appended with 'merit'.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Yup! I remember as though it were yesterday, standing and chanting the times tables and if we were caught not chanting them we had to sit down and write that table out ten times. We were also taught to write neatly in script and we were proud of our writing skill and envious of anyone with beautiful writing!With text phones, there will be fewer young people knowing how to spell.

Yes, I was disappointed in my score, I thought I'd at least get a 9/10...

Standards, old son. Not unit standards.

My sister is a primary school teacher and she is not even allowed to comment on the child actual learning ability, because they think it will make the child or parent feel their child is not doing well - WTF! If the child is not learning, then back in our day the teacher spelt it out in plain english. I still have all my reports - and I was not on the good list at times

Agreed! Whatever happened to pride in one's work? (Note the correct use of the apostrophe here..?)
Ah, yes! Report day! The anxiety and trepidation! Taking it home to your parents who would sit down and discuss it with you... Choosing which parent to show it to first...My sister is a primary school teacher and she is not even allowed to comment on the child actual learning ability, because they think it will make the child or parent feel their child is not doing well - WTF!

I agree, too, that the school system is failing our young ones who must reach adulthood and be appalled that they were not taught properly and must now suffer the consequences of their inadequacies. How the hell are you going to know right from wrong if you're not told? A teacher worth his/her salt knows how to teach without making the child feel inferior!

But they don't know what they don't know. And coming up against 'well educated' crusties doesn't bother them, either. Because it was never taught, they don't see it as an issue.

Would it affect your mana, were it not?
It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

I think you're right. It is a part of the bigger picture where youngsters need to be taught the value of taking pride in their work and in achieving higher standards. It is typical of teenagers to decry any peers who are reaching out to achieve and I take my hat of to those who are striving to learn and who are reaching out for goals ahead.
It's an old chestnut maybe, but parents play a cruicial role in this. Foster self-esteem in your children, encourage them to reach for higher standards regardless of innate ability. Reassure them that they are normal as they struggle with growing up and praise them sincerely for achieving and progressing.
We refused to accept the teachers' declining standards and corrected our children whenever necessary, something they appreciated. They may not be the best at what they do, but they are not embarrassed to communicate with anyone, and they taken seriously when they do.

Its the old 'wrap kids in cottonwool' bullshit that is happening these days. Parents drive their kids to school. We didn't - and I didn't. (only on rainy days, I did). Children of today do not know how to stand on their own two feet. or that people in life do fail, and there is only one person who can come first.......
Gosh things have changed along the way.

Errr business talk is actually bad English as well.
Its good that way as there can be major perspective disadvantages using proper English when dealing internationally.
Topside, Top-side, Top side, top side, top Side all have different meanings, all are correct English.
Being accurate and being English mean two (not 2) different things. Spelling is almost irrelevant if you know what the person is saying.

Not entirely true. It is not the schools responsibility to force education. It is their responsibility to present it.With text phones, there will be fewer young people knowing how to spell. Even schools do not teach spelling like they did in the 'olden' days. Maths is now also done more with calculators and computers - stands to reason no body can spell, add or read
Parents and Children have to find out the reason why it is there and how to use it.
A good book wont read itself - and parents are just as lazy as the kids if the expect it to be read without them pursuing it.
Learning is 90% self driven. Sitting in a class listening to a teacher is not learning.
