    We got our McRuffy Language arts in the mail yesterday and as I was going through the first lesson, I couldn't believe that this curriculum was so badly written!!! One sentence read "The bight fashlight bineded the bullfog". When I saw that one I thought someone really didn't proof read their material well.. The next sentence read "Mom deaded ceaning the refigerator". I thought MAN this is HORRIBLE!! By the time I got to the bottom of the page I was ready to call and ask for my money back. How can I in, good conscience, use this to teach my child?!?!? Then I read the directions.. :oops: "Read the sentences. Some words are missing the second letter of blends. Write the sentences with the words corrected". WOW!! I am SO glad I didn't call the company!!!!

    How many times have I gotten onto my kids for this very thing?? TOO MANY TO COUNT!! Yes, they are rubbing off on me..

    LOL... Brian would have gotten a laugh out of it I'm sure. I may or may not have been known to write to him asking a stupid question.

    Haha!!! Oh, that's happened to me before too! Although, usually it's not reading the directions while cooking....I will NEVER learn that! It's my most common reason for messing up dinner! :p

    I am always in the middle of cooking dinner, when I realize that I messed it up because I didn't read the directions and just jumped in. LOL
