I thought maybe it was 'palin-speak' ;)

Kids in our school district are taught keyboarding in 4th grade, at the same time they're learning cursive. I can remember working with cursive in 2nd grade, so timing has changed a lot. Of course, I don't believe we went 2-3 yrs where phonetic spelling was considered acceptable either. UGGGHHHHHH!!!

It also seems that when the day gets overcrowded and something needs to get cut, it's the spelling test that goes first.
