I've been taking some career aptitude tests lately, and some of them point towards becoming an educator. Now, those who know me know that I'd be a terrible elementary school teacher, but I might be able to swing high school. I'm probably most suited towards dealing with college-aged kids, since they are not, in fact, kids. But the idea of becoming a teacher of any kind is really daunting, isn't it? You're literally shaping young minds, providing them with the information they need to excel out in the world. Giving them a solid foundation in life, so they can pursue their dreams.
So, I can only assume this is either an early opportunity to let the kids test out their own copy editing skills, or if all else has failed, teaching them when to buy a vowel.

Because this is an elementary school yearbook, I'd guess that the teachers are in charge of putting it together. And that's just sad. Maybe it's a random parent, but still. A teacher should have given it a once-over, and ANY teacher should have been able to spell FOURTH. It's FOUR with a TH at the end. Another example of spellcheck failure, I'd guess, since forth is also a word.
Scary, y'all. Learning to spell correctly starts early, as does taking responsibility for the projects on which you work.
