Description
Summary:<p>The culture of our societies is full of school culture elements. The spelling teaching in France had, historically, three direct effects. First, the french orthography stopped to evolute; second, the unknowledge of orthography became a sign of “lack of culture”; finally, the needs of this teaching created a school grammar theory, which principles and even terminologies were accepted by a great number of linguists.
