I won my seventh grade spelling bee, and that must count for more. Vote Fjnbk for President 2016!

I went to a university in Idaho, for political science.

I received third place in my seventh grade spelling bee.

I live around a lot of Republicans.

Vote thinker247 for Vice-President 2016!

TELEVISED SPELLING WHAT THE FUCK? WITH COMENTATORS?
WTF AMERICA?


At least we know how to spell commentator...C-O-M-M-E-N-T-A-T-O-R...commentator. Perhaps you should watch more American TV.

This one was published one hour after yours was queued -- this one almost certainly came first.

That's one of the funniest comments ever.

Home school is only as good as the teacher, and the relationship and believability of the same......better off learning on yer own-

Does anybody know the qualifications and/or testing that have to be met by the home-schooled?

My mom is a professional teacher but she stopped being able to help me in junior high. I'd figure one would have to be brilliant to handle educating a child k-12. I hear that a lot of home schooled children are less able to adapt socially, or at least they gain the ability much later in life. Is there any studies on this?

too lazy to look for himself

There have been some great books and movies about spelling bees. It's a traditional american event. My own kid's school has been very excited about a student who made it to the state level, but not the national. It's a big deal. I can't spell at all, though I spell better on a keyboard than if I am using a pen and paper (I sympathized with that kid who looked like he was faking typing as an aid to spelling). On the other hand, I am pretty good at poker and at pool, and yet I enjoy watching a spelling bee more than televised poker or pool.

for a homeschooler, kid spels pretty well


He's not a home-schooler, unlike last year's winner.

i would really like to know what the winners of the past 10 spelling bee's are going to be doing after college.


Normally the truly bizarre antisocial kids DON'T win the bee, and the kids who win are the friendliest and most likable, who go on to be successful in just about everything they do. Last year was the exception.

i would really like to know what the winners of the past 10 spelling bee's are going to be doing after college.

Once, I was in a spelling bee, and I actually made it to one of the last two people on stage...
I had already successfully spelled several difficult words. I was so nervous, and the tension mounted as the people dropped out, one by one, until it was just me and this other chick.
The judges said, "Patricia, spell "milk"."
It of course was her well-formed habit no matter what the word was to ask for it in a sentence. The judges did so, and she spelled "M-I-L-K".
I was freaking out in my head.
My opponent got the word "milk".
By Murphy's Law, mine was destined to be something horribly un-spellable.
I didn't even need to hear the word, really.
I was going to screw it up.
"Laura, spell "treacherous"."
ME: "Treacherous. T-R-E-T-C-H-Z-P-L-W-X-G-K-(go on like this for what seems like ten minutes)...O-U-S. Treacherous."
The judges were laughing out loud.
One of them said in between chortles : "I'm sorry, that's incorrect."
I totally sympathise with this chick.

So how are you supposed to win in this spelling bee?

are you saying that the word is actually a real english word?

This is a spoof of an actual spelling bee where a guy had to spell that word, but it had a completely other meaning.
