Example Number 1,435,897 Why the Public School System Is a Joke

The morons who run them can't even spell, or are simply too lazy to check.

The funniest part? They misspelled the word education.

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.

Freeman, of course, should be fired for incompetence, but public school teachers are a protected class and it's virtually impossible to do so.

Oh, and before people jump on me and remind me how hard schoolteachers work and how there are so many good teachers--I know that. But for too long the public schools have been rife with incompetence, and this is just the latest example. There are idiots in every profession and I'm not singling out every teacher or principal.
