Spelling

Happy Friday, Fockers. Since I have nowhere to go after dumping the kids at school, I thought I would share. Lucky you.



My youngest kid is in second grade. He is one of six kids in his class who gets "advanced words" for spelling tests b/c he's good at it (watch out, Harvard!). He's following in his old man's footsteps. I swept the 3rd/4th/5th grade spelling bees at Allenwood School in the mid 80's. You probably saw Cronkite talk about it one night.

I thought the difficulty level of the tests peaked a month ago when he had a seven syllable word (INDIVIDUALITY) in a test. Turns out that is not the case.

These are among his words for today's test:

BUREAUCRACY
TECHNOCRAT
HIERARCHICAL
PLUTOCRACY
OLIGARCHY
BUREAUCRAT
MATRIARCHY

Kinda loco, right?
