Looks like someone's getting detention!
A road contractor in North Carolina was recently hired to paint the word "school" near a high school traffic zone but made the ultimate typo after misspelling the word across a freshly paved stretch of road.

The contractor, who works for a company called Traffic Markings, has already corrected the misspelling, the local Fox affiliate reports.
