Spellings?

I'm really concerned that our school does not set weekly spellings as part of the homework regime.

I've raised it with school and they say that it's their policy NOT to set weekly spellings. !!!!

Is this usual these days? If so, no bloody wonder kids can't spell correctly. If this spills over into adulthood then surely they don't stand a chance job-wise????

The received wisdom these days is children get 100% right on the test day and then spell badly all week afterwards.

Over the last couple of weeks questions about spelling have come up every couple of days.
