Re: Yay or Nay

Interesting question.  If I don't object to a tech writer using spell check 
while on the job and the company's time, is it a problem if a student does 
it?  Is spell check cheating, or in the modern world is it just a faster 
version of opening a dictionary?  Have to think about that one.

Do you have to be good at spelling to be a good writer? Not necessarily, at 
least not in Oregon public schools?

I think spelling, grammar ,and structure are as important as content. IMHO, 
this is just another way to push kids through the public school system.

Your thoughts?
