Typo on diplomas embarrasses Ohio principal Fri Jun 6, 3:55 AM ET



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.

Private schools look better every day.

It sounds as if it may be the printing company, not the school.

I feel for them. Typos suck.

Yes, they certainly do. We went from a private nursery school to public kindergarten. Now we're thinking about switching again.

Yeah, you're right. Somebody somewhere should have proofed them though.

We started in private, went to public.

There are things you cannot get in private school.

Parents can supplement what the public schools cannot cover.

I'm glad my kids are grown, thinking of the grandkids though.

My college diploma is in Latin. I'm always afraid that it really says, "the person sitting underneath this diploma is an idiot." That's why I don't hang it up.
