So I'm helping our 6 year old out with her homework, which happens to be the alphabet and what words start with certain letters, etc.
A=Apple
B=Bicycle
And so on...
W=Waffle
X=Exclamation Point
Wait a minute... WTH?
Called the teacher the very next morning and asked just what our daughter was being taught. Her response? Oh, yeah... that's approved material. I said excuse me, but 'Exclamation Point' does not start with an X, this is not approved by this parent, can't you use something like, oh X-Ray or hey, how about what I learned... xylophone!
I'm so upset over this, our education system is getting so dumbed down it's pathetic.
Regardless, we were quick to teach our daughter that this is simply not correct and explained why.
