My son was too young to start public school since he had a late birthday, so we had him apply to a private school, so he wouldn’t lose a year.
They did a series of admission tests and the final test was an interview with the principal.
She asked him a few pretty basic questions, one of which was to spell his name. He looked at her puzzled and got up to leave.
Then he turned to me and said, “I don’t want to go to this school, the Principal can’t even spell my name.”
