student asking question

Maybe the script should be "No minor's allowed"..? Because I thought "minor" should be singular here.

"Minors" is correct here. "Minors" is used because anybody who is under the age of 18 is a "minor". Because this refers to more than one person (because more than one person who exists is under the age of 18) "minors" (plural) is used.
