I'm a freelance web journalist based in Los Angeles, California. This page is typically home to links and things I find interesting around the web. My latest project is EconomyStory, a public media collaboration about how communities are coping with the economic crisis. This blog also features images and ideas from my recent trip cross-country, returning to LA from Washington, DC, where I produced PBS.org's election site, Vote 2008. -Laura Hertzfeld

so true!!!!! 1st grade: I lost on “animal”… got confused and spelled it “aminal”. I’m still embarrassed!
4th grade: I lost in the final round to Pat Rusert (I think that was his name) on ‘congratulations.’ My thinking was that we congratulate graduates, so those words should be the same. Still mad about it.
6th grade. The reader said “Certify” and then used “Certified” in a sentence. I can’t remember which tense I spelled, but whichever one wasn’t the one they were looking for. The reader was my older sisters’ English teacher.
My word in 5th grade was “artichoke.”
6th grade. “aisle.” I didn’t even make it past qualifying, actually. I should have probably been in a slow class.
yes, i cried.
