Kellie,
I haven't seen "The Limbaugh Letter," but I wouldn't put much weight in
anything Rush Limbaugh has to say concerning a subject he probably knows
nothing about. Too many folks give weight to his opinions. Remember, he's an
entertainer, and that's it. He's great for poking fun at things he doesn't
understand, but beyond the entertainment value his opinions concerning
education are, in my humble opinion, worthless. If you really want first
hand, expert advice about inventive spelling go talk to some first and second
grade teachers. They're the experts.
