Teaching Maths in Britain 1970 - 2010‏

[get2grips]

I was initially taught that method, moved schools, no one ever thought to check and it wasn't until secondary school anyone tried to teach me to spell because I was labeled dyslexic. Thankfully my chemistry teacher had the sense to ask!

Me too...when I first heard people spelling things (the correct way) I thought it was a foreign language

Actually no...this will make you laugh...

I'm a special needs teacher...specialising in dyslexia...and my degree is in English

Not sure if your just trying to taek the proverbial  now

Being new in a school and asking for the spelling of 'was', and the teacher getting the whole class to shout it at me was a particular low point!

But then I was asked on my first day of teacher training by a year 5 kid to spell selubrious (sic), so I said 'w.i.t.h. A. D.i.c.t.o.n.a.r.y'!

No, this is genuinely true Fenton.  14 years teaching, 4 years as SENCO (special needs).
