(cause you would be surprised at how many of the kids I work with are lacking in imagination. )
Yes, back in the olden days we actually had spelling and vocabulary tests. It was
expected that part of our schooling was basic literacy. Without that, everything else loses value. As for lack of imagination, it is like a muscle that needs stretching to develop. If they are allowed to live by someone else's vision, they will become boring and easily bored adults. I'm glad to see you encourage that life skill.
