Typo on diplomas embarrasses Ohio principal

WESTLAKE, Ohio (AP) - 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.

Well, Ohio is right next door to me here in Indiana so I don't actually find this story all that surprising I'm sad to say.

Actually I think that kind of thing could have been from any state, the educational system as a whole in the U.S of A. sucks LOL
