Just had our parent teacher conference for our 3rd grade son. He's still having a lot of trouble with spelling. Fuking English langwidj makes no sens. Wut a bunsh uv arbitrary rulze. Evry wurd semze to be an eksepshun to a basik rule. Yue just nede tue memorize them al. (Seriously, I just tried spelling words how they sound using basic rules of spelling, and out of 30 words, 17 don't follow the basic rules. WTF? English sucks. There is very little logic to it.)

The boy rocks at math and science though. And he's finally starting to enjoy reading real books on his own. So I think it will come together for him.
