I remember the teachers defending the use of calculators in the classroom......afraid that the students couldn’t do basic math and wanted to cover that up IMO....declared that there was no good reason for students to know multiplication or division, etc...

Using the system intelligently is half the battle. Obviously it cannot identify every miss steak.

Oregon students will be permitted to use their computers' spell check feature when taking the state writing test, state education department officials said.

Where's the prblem with that?

The entire test sight can use the spell check, and if something is wrong they can simply site the above ruling in their defense, otherwise their papers would would be a cite to see.

Computers can be of great assistance; they can also be used to create a society of idiots who could not function were there no computers.

No problem being a moron these days. Heck, recent history proves that even if they’re congenital idiots and utterly illiterate, they may wind up being president.

[perfect stranger]

Yes but, how would they be able to stop students from using spellcheck? There are many ways possible.

[Myrddin]

A nationally published computer columnist (and his editor) made a hilarious gaffe that wasn't caught by the spelling checker. When published, the column contained the word "copulating" where the contextually correct word should have been "compiling". It was spelled correctly and went to press.

[earlJam]

Can they use an Excel spreadsheet for their math test?

Obviously this a racial discrimination ploy, unless they are supplying optional Ebonics Spell Check along with the standard English Spell Check.

Obviously this a racial discrimination ploy, unless they are supplying optional Eubonics Spell Check along with the standard English Spell Check.
