Most common misspelling on the vocab section:

"norse" instead of "nurse"

I can slightly see why they would put that.

A whole quarter of my class had that as their answer.

I'm tempted to search for a viking helmet and wear it in class when I pass back the tests on Saturday, but I doubt they'll get it.

My 6th graders keep putting "Grease" instead of "Greece".
And 3 out of 32 have actually seen the musical, "Grease".
Ha.

Well, those are homonyms, so I can see how they would confuse those. I have kids who still don't know the basic phonetic differences between the vowels.

One of my 3rd graders from last semester kept spelling "six" as "sex".
And then a bunch of them misspelled "wrap" as "rape" on a spelling test.
