I removed my son from an Academy school last term as the teachers were unable to spell and the English teacher didn't know the difference between US and British English. Now I am stuck and can't find a school to take him, does anyone out there have any advice??

You withdrew you child because of THAT? Really? Slightly petty don't you think. I may not spell the American way but it is not incorrect, just different. And I think I read once that American spellings are more similiar to old English spellings.
