Too many students in private schools are writing by sounding out the words and making spelling mistakes, private school teachers say.

Nearly three-quarters of public school teachers – 72.5 per cent – believe that students’ spelling skills are below expectations.

A consultation on student performance in French in private schools was conducted among primary and secondary school teachers by their union, the Fédération du personnel de l’enseignement privé, affiliated with the CSQ.
