      I get the need to blow off steam when grading a stack of essays. But, can we not make fun of students’ spelling errors and other infelicities in their writing? This is especially frustrating when students may have heard a word but not really seen it spelled.

      I get where you're coming from, but what gets me is when they spell a word in the prompt three different ways, one of them correctly.

      So? Point out the error. For something that demonstrates such carelessness, perhaps take points off. Still no need to ridicule.

      It's exasperating, but not something for ridicule. And the rubric we use forgives a lot for convention errors. It's a teachable moment, but I stress it's a first draft and these are things to consider fixing.

      You all realize how racist it is as well as potentially ableist (let alone let’s talk about decades of reading pedagogy hot mess) to critique this as the priority.

      @RickGodden is right. But let's go over this in more detail. 1. as someone who technically has English as a 2nd-language, though I can easily correct both grammar and spelling mistakes in students prose, I have difficulty seeing it in my own work even when I have revised.

      There is research that discusses why this happens because of bilingualism, multilingualism, and various kinds of language acquisition issues. 2. several kinds of neurodiversity not to mention learning disabilities means that students cannot actually see these spelling errors.

      and 3. why are we blaming students when for a very long spate of time I saw what happened to students' spelling in the California K-12 system when they all had the bright idea of doing away w/ phonics and taught people how to read and spell w/ the look-see method. Why are we

      blaming the students when the issue was an education system that failed them. Much of this can be addressed if students have the resources (often money, time, etc.) to have people help read their papers to make sure they can fix mistakes they can't see. But do any of our

      institutions offer that. No, they do not. So, going after people's spelling & even grammar is ridiculous since there are so many reasons why these things may be happening that have to do w/ US K-12 systems, various disabilities, as well as assuming our students learn English 1st.

          My mum was always so anxious writing letters to school saying we’d been ill, etc, as she was ashamed of her spelling, she did not speak English until she was seven. When you go after spelling it silences people, often people already marginalised.
