YOU ARE WRONG PAULA!
SPELL and GRAMMAR checkers DO NOT catch everything, and to profess this is to deny the truth. Spell checkers cannot pick up on inferred meaning:
For hours.}
Four hours.} (All the words are spelled correctly in all three, but what did the writer intend?)
Fore hours.}
Students need to be exposed to rhetoric as early as the 8th grade and hopefully by the 10th. Rhetoric is a lost art. Grammar is all but extinct (read some of our student work).
To graduate here, students only need write a 3 paragraph essay. This is appalling to say the least!
Does text messaging harm students' writing skills?
