Spellbound
American culture is fascinating. Documentaries about American culture is fascinating.
I’ve just finished watching Spellbound, a documentary about American youngsters (9-14 years old) studying dictionaries for hours a day just to be able to spell words like wheedle, distractible, heleoplankton, drepaniform and akaryote during the National Spelling Bee. It’s sort of a children pageant for brainiacs.
It’s very foreign to me as a Swede where competition doesn’t play as large of a role in upbriging and education as it seems to do in America. The kids are amazingly good at studying and learning how to spell, but aren’t there better things to learn and shouldn’t kids be allowed to be kids? Interesting documentary and phenomenon though.
