Morning News Tries to Burn Elementary School For Misspelling, Misspells Word in Process

|

On the DMN‘s Education Blog yesterday, reporter Matthew Haag took Zaragoza Elementary School to task for its outdoor sign. The sign read:

Greg Robertson
Teachre of the Year
Miss. Salazar Assistance
Teacher of the Year

Haag responded:

I drove past Zaragoza Elementary School in Dallas ISD this morning and did a double-take when I saw the school’s sign. Of course, the word is spelled teacher — not “teachre.” And the position is assistant teacher — not “assitance teacher.”

Of course, the word is spelled assistance — not “assitance.”

UPDATE: So I’ve been informed this is technically not a misspelling, since you can’t misspell a misspelled word. Let’s go with, mistranscription?
