Strewing (misused horribly)
Sandra Dodd
In school there IS "strewing," though not by that name. When I was a kid lots of teachers had interesting things on shelves or in drawers. Certainly on bulletin boards.
This morning, looking for a current link for something Melissa Wiley wrote about strewing years ago, I was googling and found this:

February Newsletter - Tony Serna Jr. Elementary
Feb 7, 2014 - We will also be diligently working on using RACE strategies for ...Melissa Gonzales ... Parents, please make sure to strew to your child how.I had to look it up; it had a 505 phone number (New Mexico). It's in Las Vegas, New Mexico.The passage in which one of these people used the word "strew" was this. It's disturbing to me.Upper left of page two, if you go to the newsletter."Fourth Grade News...Students have been busy this week with MAP testing. They are testing in Reading, Math and Science. We are also reviewing for the SBA's. SBA's will begin on March 10th. Parents, please make sure to strew to your child how important these assessments are. Please make sure your child gets a good night's rest and comes prepared on these days."What the heck!?If there were some other similar word, I would blame spell check, but nothing is going to replace "emphasize" with "strew."While I'm a little jazzed that the term might have moved outside of unschooling and homeschooling into more general use, it's disconcerting to think that it might be being used to mean... what.... ? Nag?This isn't so much about unschooling as about a term I used that became standard unschooling advice getting loose in school-world.Could they have meant another word I'm just not thinking of?Sandra

Could it be "construe" or "convey"?

Reading through the rest of the newsletter it seems that stressing the importance of the test is the least of their problems. Yikes!

I would bet they meant stress not strew.

Could they have meant "stress" as in "stress the importance of"
