skymama 37 #8 June 2, 2006 I saw about the last half-hour of it. I really wasn't planning on watching it when I was scrolling through the channels, but those girls kept me glued to my seat! I couldn't spell any of the words either. I saw the winner on tv this morning. She knew the winning word and had studied it with her parents. She really kept her composure till the end!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,148 #9 June 2, 2006 I think spelling bees are stupid. I bet the overwhelming majority of contestants could not use any of the words from the last couple of rounds in conversation or in a written paper. My son won a Chicago public schools spelling bee back in the '80s. They gave the kids a long list of words that could come up. But NO MEANINGS. What use is it to be able to spell moiety or peregrination if you don't know what it means? I think we should concentrate on getting everyone to know the difference between their, they're and there, and to, two and too.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
