For the past couple of days I have been grading "America's report card" and evaluating all the answers you have given. And after staring at hundreds and hundreds of answers I have something a bit shocking to tell you that I think might help you out in the future when you are "old" just like your parents. English is not a phonetic language, or "funetik" as you might say. I know that it makes sense to follow fourteen with fiveteen, but I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. Fifteen is its own number, a new kind of beast. And not to break your dear sweet little hearts but tewenty is actually one letter less so just "subtrackt" the first 'e' and then you get twenty - a real number. Don't worry, I know you are having too much fun on your computers to be bothered with spelling and I would let it go it's just that I get so distracted by all the dyslexic numbers that I can't let this one slide.
One or both problems should get fixed as soon as you can please. And don't worry I get it, I was a 4th grader once too more worried about whales and the playground than "America's report card" but golly gee whiz I could spell A LOT better than you can. Ceriosly.

Although I was an excellent speller in elementary I remember having trouble spelling "calendar".... I have nothing more interesting to say than that.
Lisha, we should do a mad minute and see who can finish the most math problems in a minute.
Plus I challenge Lisha, Mike, Whitney, Stephen, Jeff, Chad, Tara, and Emma to an ADULT SPELLING BEE! (Remember when we were going to do that?)
I see nothing wrong with that equation. In fact, that looks like something I wrote.
Also, I AM UP FOR THE CHALLENGE RICHARD!
challenge axsepted.
Are you allowed to use red pen? My friend from England was shocked at our use of red pen. Supposedly it kills peoples self esteem. I think that's something to stick in a pipe and smoke.
