I have three children, now adults, and they were taught to spell phonetically at school. I asked the teacher about this and was advised that they will learn to spell correctly later in life. This never happened, and I have seen all of the above examples in their writings.
Politicians are now trying to work out why schools are doing so poorly, and their bright idea (to get themselves off the hook) is to 'dumb down' exams so everyone gets better results.
