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?

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

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).

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.

i can never remember the thing

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.

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

I am a biology teacher. Protein

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

Pyjamas is my sticky word.

Teaching The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas was a curse

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

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

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

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

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

fuck teachers are annoying

Christ. Depressing.

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

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

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

Never separate a para from his parachute.

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.

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.

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.
