[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's beyond sad that my second grader can't spell the word "went." In the same paragraph he also used "there" instead of "their." He also spelled a number of other words incorrectly. But I can't blame him...they don't teach phonics or spelling (word their way at our school is pathetic). He's above average (according to his teacher and his test scores), and he's in the highest reading group (reading a year above grade level). So I guess I need to blame myself for not teaching him more at home. I'll keep trying...but I think it's annoying that I have to teach him basic skills because mcps has opted to take a sub-par approach to teaching. [/quote] Um, I am sorry you are so frustrated and moving is not always the answer IMHO. But you also have to understand that a lot of kids (including mine) are getting a good education. I think teachers in that respect are way more important than curriculum.[/quote]
