I was in marching band in high school. Invariably, it seemed that the school bus that the band always got stuck with when we would travel to away football games was the one bus that had the name of the school spelled wrong.

Ya it’s hard to come down on the workers too hard, everyone makes mistakes, even doctors and school teachers. Most just aren’t this public and rarely make the evening news unless someone dies or calls the cops.

Even worse, I’ve got pictures of two different intersections with the word “stop” misspelled on the road…RIGHT NEXT to a STOP SIGN.

That implies they needed a reference to get the spelling correct. This just seems more like a big, public, hard-to-fix typo.

I dare you to try to do a nice paint job on the road while all those mums and dads honk and yell at you completely freaked out to get their beloved yet unwilling children to or from school and to get themselves in traffic jam or to the shopping mall and while children call you names or just distract you with all kinds of questions or remarks on how to do your job better…

I feel for those street painters. You try handling 8 foot tall stencils on a hot road with traffic going all around you. Seems pretty easy to get distracted.

I’ve been collecting misspelled school signs since 2004. This is #4.

The bit of the Pilgrim’s Way that goes through Otford in Kent once had SLOM painted on it.

“Students who attend Goulds Elementary School have no problem spelling the word ‘school,’ however, whoever painted the word on the pavement spelled the word incorrectly.”

Let’s hope, however, that they know how to use the word “however” better than whoever writes for WSVN.
