I am a teacher and I can't spell the words...

[BadgersArse]

• Accomodation,
  necessary ( altho that now healed because of the collar and sleeves thing) desparate always foxes me ( I am ignoring the red lines here!)
  
  What word do you write, stare at, cross out, rewrite then have to look up?

[BadgersArse]

oh and diaohheroea - NO ONE can spell that in the world

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

I can! Diarrhoea. However, I have a Classics degree and that helps a lot, because I know the Greek and Latin words the English ones come from.

Accommodation - just remember it's two doubles
Desperate - no idea how you remember that, I just do.

Incense is one that I struggle with. I'm never quite sure that it isn't incence (but it isn't, I've just checked).

[ShatnersBassoon]

Diarrhoea Is A Really Runny Heap Of Endless Amounts.

It's practice and practise I have to think about every single time. I have to think of advice and advise, which handily sound different.

[BadgersArse]

i can never remember the thing

[ItsRainingInBaltimore]

Separate is the same as disparate and desperate is different.

Accommodation has two Cs and two Ms.

Necessary is easy - don't know what to tell you there.

Diarrhoea is one that I have to google every flipping time and I don't think that will ever change.

[Rosieliveson]

Never Eat Cake Eat Salad Sandwiches And Remain Young. Necessary (ex teacher)

[eltsihT]

I am a biology teacher. Protein

[Crikeyblimey]

We do the same never eat cake thing for necessary! Works a treat.

[welliesinthespring]

Pyjamas is my sticky word.

Teaching The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas was a curse

[MrsKCastle]

I always have to think about embarrassed. And program/programme.

[Missanneshirley]

practice - has "ice" in it, which is a noun, so practice is the noun

[BrianButterfield]

Accommodation = two Cots and two Mattresses

Diarrhoea = doesn't it always run really horribly over each ankle

Separate has a rat in it

Definite has in it in it!

Sincerely is SINCE you RELY on a reply

Stationary/ery = e is for envelope

[BadgersArse]

LOOK GUYS

I KNOW ALL THAT

I still cant bloody remember it

This is a 'sharing' thread, not a ' tell her stuff shes been told before and forgotten every time' one

[Orangeanddemons]

Separate has the word pare in it, which means sort of to split or remove. Hence separate, removing one bit from another

[BadgersArse]

fuck teachers are annoying

[Dismalfuckers]

Christ. Depressing.

[NorbertDentressangle]

If I ever have to write diarrhoea (eg. reason someone has phoned in sick at work, or emailing school about the DC) I always avoid it and just write D&V

[Mitzi50]

necessary - never eat cakes, eat salmon sandwiches and remain young

[Dismalfuckers]

Just learn to spell if you are a teacher. Please.

[SuffolkNWhat]

Never separate a para from his parachute.

[BeaufortBelle]

Can't you make yourself some flash cards or something or keep a little list in your top drawer/notebook?

As long as you know you can't spell those words without looking up that's fine but don't do as one of ds's teachers once did and teach him to spell:

guage

and when I taught him the correct spelling gauge - mark it wrong and give a child 9/10. And when I wrote a polite note to get arsy when I picked up.

[Fairenuff]

The best thing a teacher can do if you're not sure how to spell a word is to look it up in a dictionary. The children will just think you are demonstrating how to use one and it will also set a good example.

[HumphreyCobbler]

As long as we know the word we can't spell, we can make sure we spell it correctly. I have a thing about sentence. I always look at the correct spelling and think it is wrong.
