There are two kinds of teachers. 3/10 here, or a high five and 11/10! Don’t you squelch that problem solving and creativity!

6 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

I too, also agree, children should be punished for creative solutions.

Using the test to take the test is actually pretty helpful in a lot of classes. This is on the teacher imho.

that kid knows how to spell. he treated it like a puzzle. you can't teach a fish to swim. that teacher sucks

Octopus isn't a super easy word. So it isn't like they can't spell. This is all power play by student and teacher

That's not making the teacher look any better, even if this was real.

The teacher has poor grammar. "Ten words I can spell correctly are:" would have been more appropriate. My sarcastic ass would have written

That wasn't a bad answer; it was a dumb question. Kid deserves full marks.

I'd still count it considering how many kids misspell words that are written. up. on. the board

6 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I would misspell words on the board to print faster, as I couldn't wrap my head around cursive, so to keep up I would knock letters 1/2

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

off of words. It just made sense to me, and still does when I'm writing for just myself. 2/2

I once got 0 points on a question like this because I put more words than they asked for. Turns out the real exercise was "follow the rules"

I used to hand in vocabulary sentences like "'Obtained' is a word we learned in class"

I did that as a kid. I got a bad grade, and my mother pointed out to the teacher that it didn't say you couldn't use the words on the.. 1/?

Seems like a valuable lesson: You can give your supervisors what they asked for instead of what they wanted, but it might not be rewarded.

Ya, he was using his environment to solve a problem, I'd call that brilliance in my text book. We should never discourage that.

Kid apparently has poor reading comprehension. 3/10 is the only correct score here. But it's no problem and something the teacher can change

6 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 63

The paper doesn't say you can't use the words on it, and those are likely words they could normally spell anyway. Where is the problem?

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

People like you that are teachers are ruining & stifling the creativity & out-the-box-thinking of young developing minds.

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

What reading comprehension does he need? The key to learning is using every resource you have to your benefit

6 years ago | Likes 59 Dislikes 3

I don't believe the kid could only write those words, it's clever. But the task demand 10 words the kids knows not that it can copy.

6 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 44

Where is such a demand stated? If you do not specifically state what is required, then this is permissible.

6 years ago | Likes 19 Dislikes 2

Enough of this "well in the spirit of the activity" bs where a teacher is covering a mistake they made with authoritarianism.

stop encouraging the squashing of creativity and cleverness in schools.

The student isn’t demonstrating their ability to correctly spell words without any aid—that’s what’s being graded here

6 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 25

Life is not without aid, this is academically a poor way to teach. Is it not?

6 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

From that same perspective let’s not teach students how to add and subtract in their head, because we all have a calculator in our phone

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It’s definitely not what’s being asked

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Clearly, the intent was for a student to demonstrate their *knowledge* of proper spelling not their ability to copy a word.

There are 12 words in that sentence. He only spelled "sentence" wrong, so, 11 words right.
