Ugh. I understand they’re volunteers and appreciate everything they do. However, this note came home from my daughter’s school. Yikes!

Explains everything
Every single teacher in our small town must drive past this sign to get to work. I emailed the principal about it when I couldn’t take it any longer – she apologized AND LEFT IT UP for two more weeks! How can we expect anyone to learn the proper use of apostrophes when the school can’t get it right?
Expensive Miseducation
A mistaken ‘it’s’ on a sign at Eton. Yes, the school. In Eton. Yes, that one.
You’re Kids Learn Hear?
Well, obviously ‘going by the rules’ doesn’t include grammatical rules! This is posted on a cooler in the front of the cafeteria at my son’s old school and has been there at least two years or longer. This is just one more reason I wouldn’t put my other two kids in this school!
Sixth-Grade Classroom Rules
These classroom rules were written by a sixth-grade teacher in my district. The first apostrophe might look like a speck, but I promise you that it’s actually there! Totally unforgivable.
Want’s to thank coaches… should blame teachers?
That’s not a misplaced apostrophe. It’s just, uh, a contraction of *want us*. Ahem.

A nice example for the children to absorb at recess. Why not just fix it with some white paint? Have the teachers not realized that it is incorrect?
It’s in a school parking lot

At this middle school in Florida, there are multiple signs with this wording in its parking lots. If you had to make a grammatical blunder, at least don’t make it in front of a school. No wonder Florida is sometimes referred to as “Floriduh.”
