Thirteen year old Evan O'Dorney, a homeschooler, captured the National Spelling Bee title yesterday. He lives in the town next door to mine. Holla! I'd like to point out, again, that there is a difference between intelligence and knowledge. O'Dorney is surely a bright boy, but smarts don't imply that you know how to correctly spell lots of words, or vice versa.

Liked what you read? I am available for hire.
