[quote=Anonymous]Is there a spelling or vocabulary curriculum standard across MCPS elementary schools or does each school and/or teacher do his/her own thing? I fight with my DC each week to do his spelling work, which just amounts to busy work because he knows how to spell the words on the day the list is handed out (he has always been a freakishly good speller - doesn't get it from mom!). Currently they are tested every two weeks. I contacted the teacher to see if there was any way to get a list that my DC would HAVE TO WORK to learn the words or alternately to test him weekly until the standard lists get more difficult. The teacher suggested that I send in a list of my own for my child. Are you kidding?!? I can just make up any old list??? This just doesn't seem right. Also, I am bothered that spelling seems to be done in isolation of vocabulary. The kids need to know how to spell these words but they don't need to know what they mean.[/quote]
