[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well if studying at home for the inevitable spelling test is a waste of time, I'd love to know how you otherwise go about doing well on it.[/quote] Spelling tests work about as well as homework when you look at the research. They certainly don't need to be inevitable and many schools don't have them. [/quote] Really? which schools? My two kids have collectively been to total of 10 schools between them (we move a lot) and I haven't come across a single one that does not have spelling tests from 1st grade onwards. I know Waldorf leaves it later - but they do have them.[/quote] My kids are excellent spellers and never had a spelling test in DCPS. They do have spelling bees though.[/quote]
