WESTLAKE, Ohio — A Cleveland-area principal says he is embarrassed his students got proof of their "educaiton" on their high school diploma.

Westlake High School officials misspelled "education" on the diplomas distributed this weekend. It's been the subject of mockery on local radio.

Blame first starts with the printer.

Ohio Students Get Proof of Their Education by Receiving Diplomas With It Misspelled

Dang, misspelling 'it' couldn't have been easy...

Ha! The knotheads left out the m.

[Cementjungle]

I wonder who it was that noticed.

Well, considering what a High School Diploma is worth, misspelling the word "education" seems appropriate.

Remember a few years back when the U.S. Senate was giving out (or given) some really classy pens, and they all said "Untied States Senate?"

hmmm outsourcing......

Blame goes to the person that submitted and approved copy before the printer did their job. My guess the printers staff just ran the approved job and did not look at it.

Maybe he did misprint it, but did NO ONE on the school board actually READ it before it was handed out?

[Slapshot68]

Blame on both sides, for sure. I’m not excusing the school...but ultimately the printer should check for spelling errors before sending out to customer.

[Slapshot68]

I’m not excusing the school...you’re right. Someone dropped the ball at the school too.

They are printers, not editors.

I’ve worked for a printer before and they would point out spelling errors to the customer. Just sayin’.

From another thread (On Obama's readiness to deal with Israel v. terrorists):

"True dat, Ed. So ... Should Jerusalem remain the undevided capital of our ally Israel"

True dat: we are devided on whether spelling is important.
