On Monday, her teacher sent home a spelling list with the class that contained a racial slur.
The word was supposed to read, ?Bigger.? But the word on the spelling list for Rosa's class, began with the letter "N," not the letter "B."
Day?s daughter didn?t know what to think.
"My daughter said to me, she said, 'I know that word and I know what that word means, but is this supposed to be on my paper?'" Day said.
Day went to the school in Sanford to speak with the teacher.
"I said, 'Well, you didn't spell-check your word? You didn't proofread your word before you sent that out?' And (the teacher) said, 'It is a word.' And I didn't like the attitude behind that one,'" Day said.
Here's how the teacher explained the mistake to school administrators: She pointed to the keyboard on her computer and said the "B" and the "N" are right next to each other, and she accidentally typed the "N" instead of the "B."
