The English Language

Maisie was practicing her writing today and wanted to write the word "cut." She spelled it "K-U-T." I started into the explanation that the letter "K" always sounds like the hard K sound, but that the letter "C" also sounds the same and has an alternative sound of "ss."

Poor girl, how confusing!

"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't." -- Anatole France
"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think." -- Anne Sullivan
