Me Fail English? That's Un-possible!

This will probably come up in the next Anklecast, but my kids' high school flooded out when Harvey hit. They are attending a different high school all year long. Because of the change of venue, a lot of things are different than usual. They do a thing called College Room, where you go and get info about colleges, applications, scholarships and so forth. They sent out a flyer about the new location of the College Room, and here is what it says:

Fall hours and locations: Tuesday's from 6:30-8:30 at First Presbyterian Church.
Wednesday's from 9-10:30am at Second Baptist Church.

Now, I don't know if it was a student of the school that made the flyer or a teacher or a parent, but it seems pretty sad that the flyer about college is made by someone who doesn't even know how to pluralize a word. I hope it was made by a student that will be taking advantage of these services to get themselves a better education. Then again, college isn't the place to be learning basic English elements. I think you're supposed to show up there already knowing those things, but college does seem to have regressed quite a bit since I went there almost 20 years ago. Good luck class of 2018.
