School Crossing Sign Misspelled

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Workers were a little red-faced after painters misspelled the word "school" on the ground in front of Goulds Elementary in Miami-Dade County, Fla. Even young students pointed out that "scohol" doesn't make any sense.

"They should go back to school," said student Keon Brooks.

"They really need the education because if they can't get to spelling school right, what you think it's going to benefit for the kids when they're laying all these teachers off?" said parent Quantisha Henley.

"They're trying to cut down on education but they need more," said another parent.

This error coming on the heels of a recent announcement that nearly 400 teachers will be getting pink slips. School board officials hope to give many of them their jobs back once federal stimulus money becomes available.

A spokesman for Miami-Dade Public Works said the painters used semi-permanent paint, and ended up repairing the mistake last week.
