TammyS Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'm a little 'noid sometimes....so I would be wondering if it were deliberate and someone was snarking off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassy Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Oh that's a good one :D. Reason No 12503 why we choose to homeschool rather than leaving our children's education to the public authorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardening momma Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Good point! We now know how the district officials feel about homeschooling. The thing is, it's not the district (which is why I didn't mark it on the form I sent to my local school district). It's the Ohio Dept. of Education. And I don't plan on correcting it and sending it in to ODE or notifying them in any other way. I want it to stay that way. lol. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Is that a new literary genre? Is there a national writing challenge devoted to it yet? :D :iagree: I thought along these lines as well. It's halfway between fiction and nonfiction and they don't have to tell which parts are true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I didn't even look down below at the big letters. I got to parents (s) and stopped reading, assuming that was the error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfarm Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Their Freudian slip is showing. We already know they hold a low opinion of us, no need to make up words to clarify it even more. Edited August 3, 2012 by hillfarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
