ABSTRACT
There is still a lot of debate among adults – teachers and parents included – about
the importance of spelling, punctuation and grammar. Some adults believe that
‘standards are dropping’ in schools. (This may be a topic for a debate or written
argument – see Module 15 and counting down from there.) My own beliefs are:
Spelling, punctuation and grammar are not so important when you’re having
your ideas, making notes and scribbling down your early thoughts.
