They were trying to get the message across that school is cool! ;)

This is near my son's school. Which isn't the high school you see in the picture.

There was a similar misspelling near Miami. They spelled it "scohol". Which in my opinion is worse. At least with "shcool" the "h" and the "c" are next to each other. lol

I don't think it does. The road painting people don't spell stuff right like "school" zones and "yield" quite a bit. I assume it's easy for it to get messed up..

Who says the road crews even graduated High school?  Do they even speak English these days?

This picture is pretty old, so not sure if it's the problem with English, maybe they're just not paying attention and getting it done and moving on. Either way, it's funny.
