The End Is Near . . .

As the end of the year nears, material is becoming scarce. If you have anything to contribute, let me know. Dig through old papers, look through the pile on your desk you'll never grade, but send me anything you've got. And share the blog with others. It's too good to keep to ourselves.

Today's entry:

aks (ax): Miss . . . I need to aks you something! Used frequently with quoston, at which time the teacher would infrom the student of the answer.

A Guide to Middle School Spellint

For all you teachers of pre-adolescent and adolescent humans that are not quite as proficient at spelling as you'd hope, this one's for you. We can't keep these things to ourselves -- that would be psychologically unethical and completely inconsiderate. Below are the first entries into the Middle School Dictarium. Following each word is a sentence in which the word is used. I decided to forego the definition. If you can't infer the meaning, you might eventually be part of the content.
Follow the blog if you'd like, comment if you want -- but keep it clean!

Dictarium: I can look up the word in the dictarium.
Quoston (kwo-stun): Can I ask you a quoston?
Bessness: It’s none of your bessness.
Infrom: I’d like to infrom you of your rights.
Flustrated: Spellint makes me so flustrated.

So this may not be a spelling issue as much as a simile issue, but "They're as smart as a rock".
