[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about fair.  It's about sharing student info that is no one else's business. Are you okay with your child's entire class along with their parents knowing your kids every grade? [/quote]

Yup.  I was humiliated every week of tenth grade after our spelling tests when the scores were announced.  Everyone except I got an A or a high B.  I usually got a D.  I really studied.  Every week.  I still can't spell but even then I knew that well presented work mattered.  I was an excellent student with an issue that wasn't anyone's business and it was mortifying to hear about my failure out loud. Every week.

Part of the problem here was spelling tests in 10th grade.  What kind of school was this?[/quote]
Elite private.  And FWIW: my son has spelling tests in 10th now (well-regarded public, honors class).  It is part of learning how English is constructed (Greek roots, latin roots, Norman conquest).  As when I was a kid, definitions were also tested.[/quote]

At our high school, we would refer to that as a vocabulary test rather than a spelling test.
