Default Re: British versus American

hi there. There is a lot of confusion regarding american vs british english. I think because of the curriculum there being british english, then this is what you must teach, irrespective of what you believe in.
As for the teachers marking things wrong ie mum vs mom, then they are correct in doing so, and as you are correctly assuming, you probably are doing more harm than good. If very young children or even older children of lesser capabilities, they will be getting very confused, hope i've helped a little.
