My student story is coming from the 4th grade today...
Setting: Class, where Miss Prario has been desperately trying to get her students to understand the difference between slang words and real words.
Miss Prario: "Gonna" is not a word. If I see Gonna or Wanna in another Paper I will make you do the whole thing over. It is "Going to" or "Want to"!!!
(K, is frantically waving his hand)
Miss Prario: Yes, K?
K: Wanna is a word, like Marawanna, Or is it Mara-want-to? (clearly he can't spell either)
At a loss for where to even begin... (We don't talk about drugs at school! You don't know how to spell anything! Don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh) Miss Prario stared in stunned silence.
Moral of the Story: Teach your kids to spell. And no Mara, we don't want to.
