Ore. students now can use spell check on writing tests
SALEM, Ore. – Beginning this school year, Oregon students in the 7th through 12th grades taking writing tests will be allowed to use spell-checking software.
That's a decision made by officials for the State of Oregon.
Oregon Department of Education officials defend the decision by saying that spell-checkers in the workplace and college are so widespread that it makes sense to let students use them on the tests.
