Back in my day... Teachers were supposed to know how to properly spell the words on the spelling test.
Once again, Mt. Holly Springs Elementary has disappointed me. My niece's teacher marked her correct spelling of "slimy" wrong, saying it was spelled "slimey." I convinced my sister-in-law to send a note to the teacher, proving her wrong and asking her to correct this oversight. If this was done with my niece's spelling test, it no doubt happened to other students' tests.
What the hell happened? In my day, teachers were supposed to teach the students. Now all it is is teaching to the test. The damn PSSA tests rule the education system and no one actually learns anything. It's memorization of niggly things in order to pass a damn test.
