As a teacher for over 43 years, I know what is involved in reporting to parents. For the last third of my career, we used an electronic system, but for most of them it was pen and ink. When Ms. Crump noticed her mistake, she should have been on that phone instantly. Opie didn't make any mistakes or cheat (of course, his A in a class where he got an F should have been suspicious). Still, once that report card went home with such glaring mistakes, it needed to be remedied, not several days later. It is another one of those episodes that show our humanity. Ron Howard is one of the finest child actors I've seen.
