If I say something I am going to be 'marked' as a PITA parent, aren't I?

But DD1 got the class 'award' thing this week and on her certificate not only is her name spelt wrong but the actual certificate says
'You have been invitied to join...' on the back.
It's making my teeth itch.

and they misused quote marks

Sorry to be a bother but DD was upset that her name was spelt wrong on her class award, any chance you can change it (laugh casually) it's so important to little ones isn't it?

Oh and just so you know there's a couple of typos on the back.

Thanks muchly

You are not a PITA, what's the point of a certificate to put on the fridge and be proud of if they can't even get your name right?
Tell them she values being chosen and would like her name on it.
Rather than a mangled anagram or whatever it was.

Realy? I am tempted. DD1 is 4.6 and her name is the onloy word she can read properly!

Say her name was Emma, they have written Emmd, obviously a brain fart but still, she can notice.
She hasn't spotted the typo though
I have had to complain to the teacher before already this term after she was sent home with a deep cut on her palm from lunchtime that had had a plaster stuck over it but hadn't been washed so there was playground grit all in it. By the time I got her home it had sealed it up and I had to soak it for 10 minutes to pick with tweezers. Plus I stillk only have dd1's story as the teacher had no clue she had fallen adn doesn't know who put the plaster on

I meant really? I thought I was overreacting etc but am quite pissed tbh.

Swallow your pissed-off-ness and just go in with it and ask nicely if it can be replaced with one with the correct spelling. The teacher will probably be mortified, and very grateful that you're being nice about it.

How is asking them to get the name right over-reacting?
I'm a primary teacher BTW if that's at all helpful.

PS: if she isn't bovvered about getting the name wrong, she might deserve PIiTA parents, so you blaze away if there are future issues....

When I took DD in before school to clean out her knee which was full of grit I was told I had to do it, the first aider isn't allowed too.

We have trained first aiders, one of our INSET days was devoted to getting certificates.
So we wash wounds, use antiseptic wipes and plasters of different sizes according to damage zone. No probing or tweezers though.

Oh I can understand them not being able to wash it, but they had very carefully put a plaster tightly over it and no-one told us that she had fallen (she was hiding the plaster) so it wasn't until I got home at 5ish that we spotted it. (confused typing)
Thanks goblin, I will mention it, she isn't upset so much as bemused as to why they got it wrong.

Definitely mention it - I'm a primary school teacher too and my pet hate is adults spelling children's names incorrectly/shortening names without being invited to and children calling adults Miss instead of Miss Whatever.

When DD1 was 2ish one of the staff at her nursery wrote Hariott (instead of Harriet) on a painting. I politely asked her keyworker if staff could be reminded how to spell her name. Her keyworker was far more annoyed about it than I was... I fear a rather stroppy lecture may have been delivered to the other staff!

Until that moment I thought we'd done a prety good job of choosing an 'easy to spell' name.

Whoops.

Of course you should mention it.Spelling someone's name wrong is pretty rude!
They won't think you are a PITA and so what if they do, it's not a popularity contest.
