WESTLAKE, Ohio - 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.

The publisher has reprinted the diplomas a second time and sent them to the 330 graduates.

It’s okay. They’ll make more money selling those on Ebay than they would actually trying to use them.

Why does this remind me of the deliberate misspelling of
Potatoe on the card that a teacher provided to VP Quayle at the spelling bee?

The government schools are a laughingstock in the first place.

Of course...my question is—who made the mistake...the school or the company who produced the diplomas?

“Of course...my question is—who made the mistake...the school or the company who produced the diplomas?”

What business accepts the output of any supplier without checking its acceptability?

The pupils who leave this school are going to have to cope in the “work” world; how are they going to learn about the real world if they are shepherded thru a fantasy world?
