Just before I administered a spelling test to the second grade, one enterprising little boy told me that because he had trouble remembering how to spell two of the words, he helpfully wrote both of them on the inside of his privacy folder (which stands upright on his desk to prevent peeking by other students during the test). How’s that for self help?
Later that day, one of his classmates wasted so much time during a reading comprehension exercise that I told her to put it in her backpack and finish it as homework. She tried to hand it back to me, saying, “My mom told me that I can’t be taking school work home.”
