A Gooder Education

This recent article on the NY1 website is a beaut.

The headline reads, "City Schools Improving Its Test Scores." This reminds me of a list published in Reader's Digest about 35 years ago entitled "18 Rules for Good Riting," of which one was "Verbs has to agree with their subjects."

I feel it necessary to inform them of their error, so they will probably correct it soon. Of course, nobody else seems to have noticed in the four days the article was up. Meanwhile, enjoy the picture of the headline.

One more silly thing -- why is this article in the "Transit" section and not the "Education" section? I've asked, and will forward their answer (if they make one).

Update: NY1 fixed their headline; it now reads, "City Schools Improving Their Test Scores."
