The Star’s Fixer column turns its attention to the crumbling signage at Palmerston School today. We’ve walked by the school numerous times and always sort of liked the abstract jumble of letters. Besides it’s what’s inside the school that counts, and our teacher friend tells us Palmerston has some of the best extracurricular programs in the city, and even has an artist-in-residence. But the Star decries a lack of funding for maintenance, and says the sign has become a neighborhood joke and that “it lends an air of apathy and neglect to an institution where people expect certain standards, like good spelling and grammar.” We think that’s a bit much. If students learned their grammar from the spelling on signage in this town then we’d be in a heap of trouble. So we’ll stop picking on Palmerson Avene Pblc Schol. And the middle letters are disposable anyways.
