Indeed - that is exactly what it says. Nobody is arguing with
that.

Unfortunately Gonz thinks 'except' means you MUST NOT rather than
NEED NOT.

I blame the failed education system in this country.

What has failed?

Here's an example. A real school teacher I once knew said she though
accurate spelling wasn't importasnt since 'creative spelling' was a
form of self-expression foir the little darlings.

With 'teachers' being pro-misspelling how much more ****witted can it
get ?
Spealling isn't a sign of intelligence, some are naturally able to
spell.

Exactly.

In the world of education it is paramount that; - that which is already
known, - (i.e., is the acccepted norm and in normal general use), should
be expounded before all else. It's called Starting with the Basics.
When you have laid the keel, then you can go forward and incorporate the
more modern nuances, thus updating the whole caboodle with reliable and
well-tried Truths.
Encourage children to investigate modern methods but in no way should the
basicically real truths be abandoned just because they are lazy and want to
choose an easy way out..
The keel must always remain sacrosanct at all times or all is lost and you
are left with an ignorant rabble., - capable only of earning crumbs, wholly
dependant upon those who have got stuck-in thus having the knowledge to
earn a decent living.

Take Alan, for example.

Also just look at the giveaway exams and degrees today.

Where do they do this? When was the last time you sat one of these
exams?

Don't embarrass the man, Phil.
