I make mistakes. I am very well aware of this. I am actually horrible at spelling. I may rely too much on "spell check." I hope my lackadaisical method of responding to making mistakes will rub off on some of my students.
The other day I was talking with a student about our shared inability to spell. I actually told him I shared with my mom that I might actually have a student who spells worse than I do. Her comment was "Wow, that's bad." (Not sure how he felt about that.)
His response was...I know why you teach Special Ed, so you can make mistakes and still feel smart.
I had to agree with that one.
