We got into the Charter school we wanted. They still follow the common core.
I guess it's okay. It just seems too hard, like how does a 5 year old get anything out of learning how to spell words like this? They DO teach phonics, and sight words. Most of the stuff they do seems pretty on point....but I do not understand why the spelling words are so hard.
