I have a Premium Membership so I assign my class certain activities to do each night for homework and if I need to differentiate instruction for a specific child it is not a problem. My students never complain about doing spelling homework and that makes me very happy. They really like Unscramble, hangmouse (hangman) and their favorite is SpeedySpeller (Premium Membership). www.spellingcity.com VocabularySpellingCity is amazing!

There is a debate about how to accomplish this goal in schools but certainly it is important to help students gain a wider perspective of human history and culture.

I did a couple submissions and got Dan Brown (the DaVinci Code) and Nabokov who's first language is Russian! I do like Nabokov, but I've never read The DaVinci Code-- maybe I should give it a try. :) This is very neat!

We could sit and have some laughs over middle school stories. I'm teaching 7th and 8th graders and I can relate to your post. I get similar comments, but I also get the same joys you get from teaching this delightful age group! Blessings, Denise Robin, very funny!
