Back to school… for everyone! Hilarious photos show shockingly misspelt signs

When we send our children off to school, we expect they'll be taught to the highest level by knowledgeable teachers.
But as these hilarious pictures show, even schools and colleges can fall victim to horrendous spelling mistakes.
This group of photographs shows a collection of spelling mishaps and inappropriate puns from across the U.S.
Embarrassing: This group of photographs shows that many schools and news organisations need to brush up on their spelling. Perhaps this school ought to have asked its Spelling Bee winners to write this sign

Shocking: It's to be hoped this pupils at this school receive a better education than the person who wrote this sign

Wrong: This sign at Colton High School suggests it may not be as committed to high standards as it likes to think

Hilarious: Although this sign for Georgia State Television does not contain any spelling mistakes, the phrase 'Students Turn Us On' may possibly need some altering

As reported by the Huffington Post, as well as including a surprising number of schools, poor spelling is also found in TV and newspaper reports and even a road sign.
One of the most unfortunate mishaps is on a bright neon sign at Centennial Elementary School which is celebrating the winners of a spelling competition.
It reads: 'Congradulation Spelling Bee Winners'.
In an embarrassing gaffe for news organisation WNDU, a caption to one of its stories says: 'School two easy for kids'.
Poor: It is not only schools which make embarrassing gaffes, as this news caption for WNDU shows

Lazy: The mind of the signwriter who wrote this clearly needs a bit of its own exercise

Humorous: Of all the letters to miss out of this sign, the 'L' in 'public' was perhaps the worst

It's hoped that a member of staff at Portage Community Education Center didn't write the caption which said: 'Our teachers make a differance'.
While a sign saying 'Commited to High Standards' at Colton High School suggests otherwise.
But as well as misspellings, there are also phrases used which perhaps need a bit more consideration.
Terrible: It is to be hoped the person who wrote this sign did this as a joke

Need to start again: This entire sign is one complete disaster

Funny: Whoever wrote this sign may now wish they had spelled out 'students' in full

Daft: Even with the correct spelling staring them in the face, somebody managed to get the name of this school completely wrong

Changes needed: The State of Connecticut probably needs to re-think how this sign is worded

Not good: It is hardly a difficult word to spell, but somebody managed to get 'nation' completely wrong
Not good: It is hardly a difficult word to spell, but somebody managed to get 'nation' completely wrong
A sign for Georgia State Television says: 'Students Turn Us On' while a sign for the State of Connecticut says: '"New" Hooker School.
A very unfortunate sign for Woombye State School says : 'Welcome to all STDS & Parents for 2011'.
Creative Kids Software will hope its products are more informed than the person who came up with the phrase for one of its adverts, which said: 'So Fun, They Won't Even Know Their Learning'.
Parents would be forgiven for getting a little bit concerned over this school's phrase

Foolish: Most children need new pens and books when going back to school, not knives
