00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 2: Let's get on the Jenesy demand around. So the pub

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: test spelling does it pass the pub tests?

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 3: In particular with the HSC, we're hearing that pupils won't

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 3: be penalized for really for bad spelling in the HSC.

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 3: They're saying that they will accept poor spelling, grammar, and

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: punctuation in exams because they are really just assessing the

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: understanding of the books and the poems that they're studying.

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: Other people are saying, well, spelling is very, very important,

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: you know, do you end up just accepting texts speak?

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: You know what it is. We're just heading down the

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: path of the Eloy, That's what we're going to begin.

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: They get the Eloy hgu Wells time machine, you know,

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: the Eloy, the little people on top of the earth

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: that are all blissfully unaware about what's going on. They

16
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: don't know about history, they don't know about anything, and

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: then they get eaten by the Morlocks.

18
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: Having said that, would you rather that they learned their

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 3: history and didn't worry about having to spell it all

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: correctly spelled? Morlock?

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 4: Were they?

22
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know why we can't do both, but

23
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: here they are because I guess students these days are

24
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: using computers to do their homework. If they most students,

25
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: they're finding he can spell better in primary school than

26
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: they came in high school. So spelling does it pass

27
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: the pub test.

28
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 5: I have a friend I've learned for forty years, and

29
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 5: my name is Nikola, right, but I spell it nikki.

30
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 5: N I see Ki, he's been spelling my name ni

31
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 5: double ki. Doesn't he look at the message? Doesn't he

32
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 5: read the letter? It is so important to get the

33
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 5: spelling right. And it's something that just bugs fail out

34
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 5: of me. If you read it.

35
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 6: Spell it right.

36
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 4: It's English, so you should be able to spell it.

37
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: It's Americans will check half the time anyway, which is incorrect.

38
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 4: And this is coming from a sythlectic person who can't

39
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: spell my own name without he assistance. So you know,

40
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 4: I really think it's important to make it a much

41
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 4: more relevant thing for people to do is learn how

42
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: to spell properly.

43
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: I thought I was good at spelling, and after all

44
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: these years in my fifties, I've gone back to UNI,

45
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what. If these kids don't know how.

46
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 6: To spell when they finish high school, they're in for

47
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 6: a very rude awakening if they go to UNI because

48
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 6: it is marked out. What about what

49
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: About that Jonesy and Amanda's donation,
