Lovely Gdcs’ spellings

I needed my son’s teacher to explain to me what he meant by cwiyet as it wasn’t clear from the context.
She always praised the children’s stories and never marked anything wrong. The result was a class of 5 year olds who were all enthusiastic writers and in time their spelling improved.
(If you still haven’t worked it out the word was quiet ?.)

cwiyet - brilliant!
Very logical.

I do remember a neighbour having an argument with her DD's class teacher because the DD's spellings had been corrected in a story she'd written.
However, the child's spellings were correct and the teacher's were wrong.

DD's spelling was coming along nicely, then on the way to school patiently spelled out Broad Lane off the sign & came up with 'Brode Lane'. Almost seemed a shame to correct her.

After seeing comments about the apprentice I was reminded of a colleague many years ago she spelt Wesley, Whesley on a handout for children. When I pointed it out she said it did not matter, She also made a collage of the Arctic with polar bears and penguins it was my job to correct her ,again she just shrugged just like the Apprentices.
She ended up an Advisor!!

Not a grandchild but my eldest son now 60, An octopus has 8 testicles. His teacher was impressed at right spelling!

My son was a prolific writer at infants school but obviously there was some inventive spelling involved.
There was a policy at the time to only correct three wrongly-spelled words per page: so sometimes the same word would be corrected, and sometimes it wouldn't be.
