My 6th grader came home today with a ribbon for having gotten a 4.0 her whole year of 6th grade. Which I’m of course uber proud of
But… and I shit you not… this beautiful red ribbon lettered in gold with the year and the school seal says “EXCELENCE”
And apparently one of the other sixth graders in her class told the Principal (who has a doctorate in education) “Thanks for the ribbon. You misspelled Excellence.”
And I’m just howling. This might be my favorite story from middle school so far.
