Jessa Seewald celebrates her son’s accomplishment.
On Instagram this week, Jessa gave fans a peek into her homeschool days with her four children, Spurgeon, Henry, Ivy, and Fern.

Duggar fans & critics notice a flaw in her teaching style.
In the comments section of Jessa’s post, Duggar fans and critics are discussing what they saw. And many have a lot to say. They pointed out that the word “there” was on Spurgeon’s spelling test. However, in the video, the mom of four didn’t use the word in a sentence. They think this could have been confusing to the young boy.
One fan said, “When you ask him to spell ‘There’ you didn’t use context. How did he know it wasn’t ‘their’ or ‘they’re’?”
Someone else asked, “How did he know how to spell ‘there’ without using it in a sentence? The three ‘there’s’ are always confusing.”
Yet another chimed in, “Spell the word there? Or their? Or they’re. She should have used it in a sentence.”
So far, Jessa Seewald hasn’t addressed these comments, but in the past, she has clapped back at the haters. She may return to social media to offer an explanation or to defend herself. One fan backed Jessa up and said, “It was a spelling test, so I’m sure they’d been practicing the words for awhile.”
