[quote=Anonymous]A Spanish teacher in my second child's 7th grade was like this. She graded for rapidity of execution, coloring, cutting up little pieces of paper to make a booklet...not the actual words in it! My first child has dysgraphia and low processing speed. He's very bad with fine motor skills, scissors, etc. But he's very cerebral. If he had had this teacher, I would have complained to the Principal. He would have committed a list of words to memory no problem, but had a terrible grade with this assignment! Like PP said, it gets better in high school, academically speaking - my first child did very well in high school! Conversely, some kids are surprised at the transition, because their good MS grades weren't actually about their study and academic skills...[/quote]
