Leo came home this week with his sweet little class schedule (flag salute, snack, toileting. The usual preschool fun.) And then. This week’s unit? Why it’s summer, so they are studying the beech of course! Yes, the beech. Who doesn’t love the beech? They are learning about sand, sand castles, the ocean, swimming, the sun. You know, the beech.
I could see one typo. One misspelling. But this thing was covered in beech. It was almost comical, See how many times you can spot the misspelled word! I’ve never seen the word beech so many times in my life.
I know these kids have Down syndrome and they’re only like three and four years old and all, but don’t they deserve to learn how to spell properly?
I’ve heard about teachers making embarrassing grammatical and factual errors. To be fair, I come from a family of teachers, so I am not knocking teachers. I know they have a tough job. But this just seems odd to me.
Am I overreacting?
I realize this means I am not allowed to ever make a typo in this blog again. Crap.

You should offer to do a guest presentation. Find some expert on beech trees and bring them in. And maybe hand out Beech-Nut gum.
And I don't think it's wrong to hold teachers to a higher standard.
Oh, my.
That's all I have to say. Oh, except that I'll be spellchecking your posts from now on.
