Diploma Honors “Educaiton”

It’s a pretty sad commentary about the state of our educational system when administrators make spelling errors on high school diplomas. Twice.

A Cleveland-area principal says he’s embarrassed his students got proof of their “educaiton” on their high school diplomas.

Westlake High School officials misspelled “education” on the diplomas distributed last weekend. It’s been the subject of mockery on local radio.

Principal Timothy Freeman says he sent back the diplomas once to correct another error. When the diplomas came back, no one bothered to check things they thought were right the first time.

Yeah, Cleveland rawks all right.

Ooooooh, pet peeve! My husband is in charge of the media team at our church and there are inevitably typing or spelling errors that end up on-screen. It drives me nuts, but not as much as the errors on television captioning.

The television ones drive me nuts, too. I just find it so hard to believe whatever program they use doesn’t have a spell-check built into it!

We Don’t Need No Educaiton…

And in Cleveland, they don’t get none, either. Hey, teachers left them kids alone.

links from Technorativersion control problems (in design) or new code that doesn’t play well with the other code. You need to test it (or proofread) it all from scratch every iteration; if you only check resolved issues, you’re going to be embarrassed. (Link seen onElectric Venom.)
