Ugh. I understand they’re volunteers and appreciate everything they do. However,

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?
