I think teachers may well be correct that it shuts down creativity to worry about spelling and grammar.
We had in English teacher in High School who didn't reach 5 feet but she was feared and yet loved at the same time because she demanded discipline and excellence from every student in her class. One of the most popular teachers at West High RIP Ms. Anderson we all loved you.
