Two things;
1. I have yet to find someone who can explain to me why they call their spelling competitions here in the US, a "Spelling Bee". Not my team leader, not my principal, nor any other member of the faculty has been able to explain that to me. Hmm!
2. Upon returning to school the day after receiving a spelling guide, given to the winner and runner up, in my class Spelling Bee, the young student in question turns to me and says, "Wow, there are some interesting words in here. Some words I knew like 'magnificient' but some words, like 'megalopolis' I thought were made up words from Sponge Bob!"
You just have to love teaching on days like that!
