[quote=Anonymous]I have a 6th and 8th grader. They went to an ES in the Einstein cluster. They both drilled math facts and the now-8th grader absolutely had spelling tests (some years, but it was never a consistent thing). The older one also got one week of cursive instruction in 3rd grade. The younger had spelling tests inconsistently in two grades and never learned cursive. Despite the highly centralized system, there are differences between schools and teachers. I know for the older kid there were other third grade classes who had more cursive instruction. Both my kids drilled math facts in school, a lot. My older one did not do compacted math, and still had to drill them in 5th grade. It was ridiculous, but that's what you get, when you don't differentiate education within the classroom. My kids never had spelling bees, geography bees, etc. I asked about spelling bee a couple of times and principal said it would never happen. Did not fit in with curriculum.[/quote]
