[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think socially it's not a good idea, and my dd has ADHD.  How would your dd feel to be sitting there during spelling tests or spelling practice when everyone else is doing one thing, and she's doing another.  Unless you get pull outs, I don't think it's a good idea.  I know my dd wouldn't like to be in that position at school.  My dd is also in 4th grade, and this is the grade where the teachers are really emphasizing to the students to take responsibility for their own homework, and I am very proud in how my dd has stepped up in this regard.  She even does quite a bit of her homework in afternoon SACC when she would never have done that last year. [/quote]

They don't practice the spelling at school, and even if they did, I wouldn't mind her practicing them.  She could even still take the spelling quiz along with the rest of the class,[b] I just don't want the grade held against her[/b][i][u].[/quote]

This is the rub.  You seem far more concerned about her grades than about her success in learning the material.  
Please start working *with* the school instead of trying to do your own thing with her.  And stop drilling her ad nauseum so that she still gets As. [/quote]
