Speech or spelling?

Nik came home today & told me her schedule got changed & instead of spelling 2 'xs a week she will have speech. I asked her when she did spelling & she told me she doesn't. I would rather she skipped the speech & did the spelling because speech so far in her 6 yrs. of school has been a total failure & anything she has accomplished has been out of school not done it.


Dh & I have decided that tomorrow morning we'll be heading into school to inquire about this.

Wsa speech recommended by a speech pathologist? Why would spelling be replaced with speech? My DD takes speech but its in addition to her regular schedule.

That is a very good question which I intend to get answer of tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is the 1st day of spelling, they have spelling for 1 hr. twice a week, so they have replaced spelling w/speech & from what I've seen from last yr. speech was a total waste of time. Also she's been accepted into a study at the university here for speech, she has an expressive language delay so they will be testing her & giving her whatever there from what I understand.

I want her in spelling because in those 2 hrs. of spelling a week I'm sure there is more done than spelling & I don't want her falling behind & being behind next yr. in 7th grade.
