I think it started in the 80's? P.C. schools were told to teach spelling "as it sounds" as opposed to the correct spelling. I believe that teaching methods are now reverting back to the "old" ways but for at least one generation, the damage has been done!
Likewise calculators, for a period in the 80's, it was acceptable to take a calculater into an exam but I believe that now, they have to forgo electronics. Am I right?
In my day.......Ouch! It wasn't good enough to come up with the right answer, you had to show the examiner HOW you arrived at the answer by putting your calculations on the exam paper. This seems unimportant nowadays
