Up with which?

Headline in today’s Dallas Morning News; “43 Dallas ISD schools make Texas’ growing list of low-achieving campuses”

Yesterday, we received a newsletter from the Dallas Independent School District. It contained an article about the 100th anniversary of Ben Milam Elementary School. A special guest was a 98 year old former student who attended in 1920, whose photo with cutline appear in the story.
 

If the errors in gender and number are not readily apparent to you, then God bless. One might forgive the cutline writer, who may have acted in haste up against a deadline, but not the editor. Perhaps he/she is a product of one of the low achieving campuses. I feel sure that editor was not an alumnus of former pedagogue, and occasional commentator of these pages Gary B.

Or is my gripe pedantic nonsense up with which we should not put?

My day job is assisting individuals and small businesses as a lawyer. I taught real estate law and American history in the Dallas County Community College system. I have owned and operated private security firms and was a police officer and criminal investigator for the Dallas Police Department.

I am interested in history and historical research, music, cycling, and British mysteries and police dramas.

I welcome comments, positive, negative, or neutral, if they are respectful.
