So 6yo KG's starting first grade in gifted private school next week -- switch from public K.
He got a postcard today in the mail from his new teacher, which read:
"Dear KG,
Your going to have a fantastic year!
From Mrs. P"
Umm ... hello? This is a (not cheap) school for gifted children! This is our first communication with you! You have a room full of gifted first and second graders, I have to assume many/most of them can read, and this is the *first* thing we get from you -- a misspelt communication?
I'm just a little irked by this. Is this indicative of the level of care put into the education of my child?
I'm probably overreacting, but this is ... well, annoying in its carelessness, and doesn't exactly inspire confidence in this teacher, iykwim. Of course, I *am* a copy editor and probably a little particular about these things, but still.
I'm sure I won't, but I have half a mind to walk up to the headmistress, hold up the postcard and just say, "*Really*?"
Thanks for letting me vent.
