Horrified mum tweets her child’s spelling homework from school which contains quite obvious mistakes

The exercise littered with errors prompted irritation and anger from parents online

A spelling exercise for year six pupils with obvious spelling mistakes made by the teacher has gone viral-after an irritated mum shared it on Twitter.

The homework task, supposedly designed to help the primary school age children with their SATS exams, gives a list of six words they are expected to learn to spell.

They include: Accommodate, communicate, equip and physical.

But two words -sincerely spelled incorrectly as "sincerley" and immediately spelled as "immediateley"- stick out as obvious errors.

There was also a typo in the last sentence where the word 'you' should read 'your.'

The unimpressed mum accompanied a picture of the errors with the caption: "My son has spellings from school that they want him to learn.

"I'm currently holding my head and sighing."

The post was quickly re-tweeted hundreds of times and received nearly six hundred favourites in just two hours.

But some Twitter users couldn't believe that the mistake was real and some even accused her of faking it.

The mum had to draft a response to the criticism including fending off accusations she had 'shamed' teachers by sharing the post.

"I appreciate and value teachers but errors like that are just not on," she included in her bullet-pointed response.

She added: "I will be, of course, going into the school and questioning why something so littered with errors was sent home."
