Bad Grammar Left On Schools’ Agenda
10/01/08 - Wacky News
“A student agenda distributed to 294 public schools in Toronto alone has a serious “grammer” error. The heading atop page 136 in the junior edition of the agenda – sold to students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 across the Toronto District School Board for about $5 – is “Grammer/Punctuation.” That page, and others at the back of the book, are supplied by Premier agendas. “It’s absolutely something we take seriously, and something we are extremely disappointed about,” said board spokesperson Kelly Baker. The board learned of the mistake from Trustee Sheila Cary-Meagher, who had received an email from an irate parent who is a proofreader.” w/ photos
