it's cool to see them laugh it off when they mess up, are nervous or get it wrong, it's also good to see kids happy that they think they are accomplishing something. But the "spelling bee" isn't all that important, if you do partake in it, cool, but don't let it be a competition where if you lose your so broken or if you win you think your on a moral or intellectual high ground, which in many cases swells peoples heads. This is the problem with competitions of any kind.
In my country we don't do the 'clique' thing in schools like in America, though if I had to guess, I'd have been a : dorkjocknerdbandgeek LOL. I've no idea what other cliques Americans use *shrugs*, but whatever word you can come up with that combines all of those above, I am THAT. PAHAHAHAH XD
It's funny how all the male contestants look like they haven't played a single sport in their whole lives... I don't see the point in being smart when you can't do anything eles. Visa Versa.
I've always regretted not mustering up the courage to say "gesundheit" or something when they gave me "palimpsest"...I could've been in one of these videos...*sigh*
At least I met Mr. Sardoodledom~ (Aaaaand I totally got a picture, *brag*)
THEY ARE NOT ABUNCH OF DUMB NERDS!!!! IM GETTING INFO ON MY SCHOOL SPELLING BEE!!!!!! AND THEY KNOW ALOT ABOUT SPELLING!!! , oh and stupid, if u think their so dumb, why are they at the Scripps National Spelling Bee? YA! THATS WAT I THOUGHT!
well, when you are standing there in a stressful situation and your adrenalin starts to go, the natural instinct is to move, but since it's not exactly apropos to go running around screaming at a spelling bee, it's surprising that more kids don't faint from just standing there.
I agree in a sense. But English has roots in all roman character based languages (German Included). I find it entertaining and harmless. Good way for these kids to build self esteem.
Any person who practices for 20 minutes a day for 3 months could get 90% through the competition. Winning just means your better at guessing if theres to t's or an o and not a u. It is completely pointless.
Because in German, words are mostly spelled exactly as they are pronunced. Therefore it would be pointless to have a German spelling bee. But in English, this is absolutely not the case.
The saddest part is that I even added subtitles to this video with the line spelled correctly. Apparently people still don't realize that functionality exists on YouTube...
lol i <3d the kid who wuz like "is it just my luck or am i getting all french words?" and the guy who got 'zarzuela'. lol. lol lol lol LOL!!!!!! i love this vid.
