Seriously, high schools shouldn't be able to offer snowboarding as a class. Stupid Anoka/Ramsey.

I think one of the great disadvantages of American schools is that we abandon spelling and vocabulary lessons in Middle School, yet we test for these things later on the SAT. I think spelling should be a core component of lessons along with vocabulary as it enhances understanding and mastery over spoken and written language. While I do not think we should expect students to be perfect at this, I think - even in a digital age - we should stress the importance of self growth. This will not make us better spellers. But it will make us better readers and more self aware of our mistakes.
