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

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!

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.

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

7 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

7 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"

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

7 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?

7 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.

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

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.

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

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

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 25

It’s definitely not what’s being asked

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

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