[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 201989, member: 1233"] It varies greatly from district to district. Sadly, Wiz had a 2nd/3rd grade teacher (combined class) who could not spell OR use punctuation. I used get very angry bc they would take Wiz' recess away if the teacher's notes to parents had incorrect spelling or grammar. HE was 7!!! But the teacher thought it would "challenge" him. SHE couldn't spell the regular spelling words the kids were assigned!!! Not talking typos, seriously couldn't spell!!!! I think that the dependence on spell check and grammar check are part of the problem. Our district here is very strict with the teachers. If parents complain, the school board gets very upset with the teachers. And kids are never expected to correct the teacher's use of hte language. Sorry you are so disappointed in the quality of instruction in your child's school. (and sorry for my typos/grammar - it is late for me!) Susie [/QUOTE]
