Read moreThis theory seems to have fizzled in most schools, possibly because it's idiotic. Words have conventional spellings for a reason: their purpose is to communicate. If we encourage kids to form bad habits, it will be that much harder for them to become capable writers later. This theory's heyday was evidently brief, but still, it left its mark.
