It is an "International Middle School," perhaps this has something to do with the fact that spring is usually marked by holdiay celebrations & these vary from culture to culture? I cannot say off the top of my head which cultures do not have spring by March 22, but it seems like think one would be wary of in a PC enviornment. After celebrating the beginning of spring for non-western cultures in social studies like 5 times before March begins, I bet administrators are "sensitive" to others beliefs (worried about #%^$ing up haha).
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I like the R's omission from the last word.

Perhaps it's not really a spring break because they expect the students to do work during it.
