[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 479704"] You want to hear the funny part? He told me last night that he thinks that the reason that he does so poorly in spelling is because he was never made to correct his errors when he was younger. I told him that I know that is why he does poorly in spelling. He's in 7th grade now and in middle school they don't do spelling. I remember doing spelling and vocabulary all the way into high school! Nope. No spelling work once they hit middle school. I think it is to their detrement. What I have been told is that they know that the kids are all going to eventually use computers with spell check, so they don't emphasize spelling like they did when we were younger. That's fine, but how is that going to help them when they have to take a test where they actually have to write something? I think that difficult child is a perfect example of how that thinking fails the students. [/QUOTE]
