This picture of a prom ticket for a Chicago High School proves that the school has a serious problem. Paul Robeson High School is in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago and is one of the poorest and most dangerous schools in the city. See below via EAG News:
That image came from veteran investigative reporter Chuck Goudie, who posted this image on his Facebook page.
Some people might enjoy mocking the irony of the gross misuse of vocabulary.
But unless the organizers of the prom festivities planned the wording this way as a joke, there’s nothing funny about the situation.
Paul Robeson High School is located in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the city. The high school also is part of the failing Chicago Public Schools, or CPS, system.
Four out of 10 CPS freshmen do not graduate.
If they do graduate, 91 percent have to take remediation courses in college because they do not know how to do basic math and school work. Just 26 percent of CPS high school students are college-ready, according to the ACT subject matter tests.

I've read the comments. But I've seen the same kind of spelling and grammatical mistakes here on FR. Yet, when someone who cares about the English language as a part of our American heritage dares comment on it, he or she is immediately dubbed a part of the spelling and/or grammar police.
A double standard is a double standard.

Loggins and Messina composition, I think. Right after their 1972 hit Summer Breeze (makes me feel fine!)

Seriously, is your post intended to be satire? It is full of grammatical errors!

I'd like to “axe” the kids if they really did graduate.

Oh, you’re right. Those are two distinct duos, not the same.

You might have missed the joke, in that whole sentence. Methinks you missed my joke! LOL
