It should be up to the teacher.

So if a teacher want to count of 50 pts for a misspelled word, you think it should be left up to the teacher? 20 pts? 30 pts?

now I'm convinced this thread is just one big troll job.
You should find a thread more suitable for your level of intelligence.

But you see it as "unfair". Intelligence is inherently unfair. Some kids are smarter than others. Some are born that way, others learn.

My son has been the smartest kid in his class every single year. Thus far he has already separated himself as the smartest in his math and English classes. All of that is per his teachers and classmates. One example is that his math teacher said that he is the only student in the last 4 years that answered a complicated math problem correctly that she gives on the first day each year. Those are her words, not mine.

Or at least received a tuition refund.

I had full tuition scholarship, so what do you think they might refund?

People need to learn how to spell. When I taught college classes, I was appalled at how poorly some of the students spelled.

I'll say what I said before, a 7th grader should be able to spell correctly, I don't blame the teacher for counting off points. It might be severe, but a 7th grader should be able to spell correctly.
