To all - thanks. Yes it is an official D as in 65%.
He has a 95% in reading and 89 or some such in "language arts". He has 12 spelling words per week with the test on Thursday. As well as "spelling dictation" where he is dictated two sentences. Failure to capitalize the first letter and punctuation are why he doesn't have an A, as his spelling is very good. Typically if he does miss a spelling word, it's because he flips his lowercase d into a b.
I've sent the teacher a letter. Loathe would be too soft a term to describe how I feel about the choices of our districts administration. I called a neighboring district yesterday to see if they accepted tuition students (which they do not) because I feel that strongly about it. DH refuses homeschooling option and our private religious schools (2) aren't a good fit. Parents are very unhappy about many things in our district but politics rule and our children suffer while the administration tries to make a name for itself. (End of rant) Thnaks for the tolerance here.
