I was referring about the previous company she talked of in the article. I think she was taking about the company she worked at before BB.

oh ok. something will come up for her, but atm she is in the spotlight good or bad, and maybe not helping by what she writes, but it is how she saw and sees it. she might end up on a career path she didn't exactly want, but fortunately one she finds she likes. what that is nobody knows, how many people have that luxury in their profession?

Yes. I think she burnt the bridge because she doesn't want to cross it.

you are probably right with that comment, but that could be because it was going to take her in the direction she emotionally doesn't feel right going. doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing for her, just not her avenue

i have said things the last 2 days where i have done a Tim and backtracked. what happened? i was blunt and truthful. could i have lied? yes. could i have said nothing? yes would i have felt honest? no. would i do the same thing the same way? no, but i would be lying. did it work out for me?.... yes :biggrin:

Jade who claims to be someone who wants to be known for more than her looks, should put as much or more effort into developing her abilities that are separate from her looks.

I have two kids with dyslexia (in year 11 & year 7) and they both have significant spelling difficulties, worse than their reading issues. From my experience with my kids you can only work on developing the ability to a certain extent. They've seen every sort of specially recommended tutor under the sun and I've been told by all of them that regardless of how much work they do they'll never be great spellers if they have an underlying reading issue because the two go hand in hand.

Starting his HSC years my eldest is working incredibly hard at it at the moment. At his school taking an English course is compulsory. He does 4 hours of tutoring for his reading comprehension and writing each week. I can certainly see the results when he's sitting down and concentrating to write a response, but often his writing during casual tasks like leaving me a note or posting a Facebook status is so disjointed and unintelligible I have to read it a few times to work out what he meant. Just last night I was um-ing and ah-ing whether to tell him be posted "a suspection guy" rather than "a suspicious guy" on his Facebook status.

I've noticed the same thing with Jade. When you look at her long post defending Tully she actually spells it quite well. I reckon she went over it a heap before posting it so the same people attacking Tully wouldn't attack her for her spelling. But then when she just posts causal tweets there are more errors. Same exact thing with my kids. I've been told it's because strong spelling and writing isn't second nature to them like it is to a lot of people so when they're not thinking and just writing the errors happen more.

It really is difficult as a mum because both my kids work so hard. It's certainly not through lack of trying or effort that they still have difficulty. Some people are just natural spellers and some aren't. Jade obviously isn't but she doesn't really strike me as a lazy person that's in this position from lack of trying.

Jade did admit on the FB post before it was deleted that she had posted on the run. I know it's not perfect spelling but come on you know what she means(sorry this last sentence was meant for @TullyLovesDrew )

when English is not a compulsory unit there will be that many people jumping up in the air it's not funny

if you find this subject hard, by the time you start the HSC you become so focused on working to achieve at least a pass in English, all your other subjects suffer, and this where the stress begins. why? because this is something you can not choose not to do, you have to. English can bring a highly intelligent person's ATAR down, it's not everybody's forte, but the Dept of Ed thinks it should be. i have much proof to what i just said if you can understand it
