[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- I did. I asked about spelling, about number facts, now about multiplication. Every time, I've been told that at this age, if they know the mechanics of how things work, that is the most important thing. They will learn spelling / mental arithmetic / etc in the next semester / year. That never happened, but when we took the WISC / academic achievement test, she was seriously docked for moving her fingers to add -- even though she did it really fast, quietly and accurately.

Talking back to her teacher, we *then* found out that the school will not practice those skills, and that "it's good" to practice them at home. (After she had told me to allow her to take the lead in teaching math rather than do extra work at home).

So I'm a bit frustrated with this already, and I fear the same thing is happennig with spelling.

having learned from the past, she is now comfortable with her multiplication and division, so at least that is something we will not have to rely on the school.

But, come on! teach spelling to these kids!!!![/quote]
