I don’t know where this school is, but I wouldn’t bother going back after vacation, if I were a student who wanted to learn anything about grammar, homophones and apostrophes, at least. I found the sign in a file of photos e-mailed to me by my ever-alert sister, who shares the gene for ferreting out apostrophe and other abuses in the English language.

This is so sad. I can’t even think of anything clever to say. It is almost traumatizing.
Wait… my on vacation? As opposed to my off vacation?
Shame on them!
Superstitious fundelicious- I’m going to have to agree with you 100%.
The your/you’re mix up drives me absolutely insane.
And no wonder no one can understand that you’re is a contraction and your is possessive… The schools can’t even get it right!!
I want to cry
If that were my school … I probably would cry. And also leave.
I correct signs every day at school, but never by teachers. Apalling.
I agree. I (begin italics) am (end italics) traumatized.
Oh, this would be -such- a perfect opportunity with a student with a can of red spray paint…
Someone should start a your/you’re blog like this one. This kind of abuse is everywhere!
