The issue is that at the very beginning, they use "inventive spelling" and other things to encourage children to 'express themselves' on paper at an very early age, even when it makes little sense to anyone else trying to make sense of it. However, they teach these children vocab words, and rules of correct sentence construction. HOWEVER - they do not hold them accountable for the new things they HAVE learned. Therefore, it becomes "Who cares? I have no incentive to be clear in my spelling and sentence structure. Nobody corrects me further on simple rules of English". We have received that which we rewarded...
