Headline Today
(or, Why don't I think I'm getting my money's worth out of the paper?)
This headline, which indicates a continuation of a page 1 story, appeared on page 16 in this morning's Roanoke Times:
The front page story's title is "Summer school is worth the expense." The reporter notes that there are "about 1,275 city students in summer school this month." It's actually a pretty good article. Except, well, for the headline pictured above.
The article isn't about one particular student.
Why did the headline writer not use the correct plural possessive form, students' skills?
Perhaps some summer school remediation is needed. . . .

Obviously they don't proof read before it goes to print? Or they do but they really need to hire someone who knows how to proof read. Or they just don't care? Looking for a job?? LOL??
