I'm an LEA govenor of my local village primary and we had a meeting last night in one of the classrooms. Up on the whiteboard were numerous pieces of flip chart paper, headed up with different countries, eg France, Wales, Italy, England, America etc and underneath, lists of attractions/buildings/memorable things about each country. Every flip chart page had at least one spelling mistake/factual inaccuracy on it - eg under France, it had "Eifel Tower", and The Rhine river. Under Switzerland it had "Switz pen knife","cukoo clocks". England had "millennium dome/centre/stadium" on it.
The more i stared at it, the more i wondered whether it was a deliberate"spot the mistake" test, or whether the teacher concerned really couldn't spell or was lacking basic geog. knowledge. It has been bugging me all day - should i ask about it? I thought about asking one of the teacher governors, but i feel a bit of an obsessive doing so. The school is making excellent progress academically, gets over 90% in its SATS and i don't want to be seen as questioning the ability of the teachers unduly but what if it wasn't a deliberate mistake????What should I do( apart from drive myself mad thinking about it?)
