The Problem With Education Today
Creating road signs typically costs between $25 to $35 per square foot, but in this instance, the contractor might not deserve any compensation due to a glaring spelling mistake on a “SCHOOL” sign, humorously rendered as “SCOOHL.” This ironic error underlines the critical importance of spellchecking, especially for something as influential as road signage.
While painters lack the convenience of digital spell-check tools like Microsoft Word’s red underline for errors, a simple double-check with a colleague could prevent such mistakes. It’s a clear reminder of the value of proofreading, no matter the task at hand.
