Taking a different angle, I have a son in Pre1A. His Rebbi (most probably) did not receive a formal English education. He has been teaching for 30+ years. With all due respect that a Rebbi of foundation concepts in TOrah deserves, his spelling is atrocious. His grammar is not so bad. He is obviously very successful, otherwise the Yeshiva would not keep him on staff and parents would not look forward to having their children in his class. My son tells me that “Rebbi doesn’t know ____” whatever it is they are learning at the time, which is probably part of the method he uses to get the children involved in learning. Taking these events into account I really think that even his “atrocious spelling” is a “show” even for the parents. I caught in one of the newsletters, word(s) he would “misspell” was spelled correctly. Now, suppose I am wrong and he really cannot write English properly, I think that since the children barely know ABC, and are not likely to read the newsletters, is it really such a big deal? It obviously does not affect his success rate teaching alef-bais?
