Son's spelling improves, despite teacher's efforts

If you remember, last month I posted some of my older son's spelling sentences. Well, he just got his last report card of fifth grade and on it his teacher recorded this comment: "Sam has made improvements using spell check. He know longer is telling the computer to learn his version of the word."

He is also know longer in your class, thank you! To his credit, he did receive a "B" in both German and English language arts and, for the record, English spelling is a lot harder than German. A German word may be five inches long in Times New Roman font size 10, but it's just like it sounds, unlike English.

But those expectorations are simply spit on the pavement as far as I'm concerned. Sam will go far and so will you!

I like that solution- telling the computer to learn his version of the word.

Clever fellow.
