Help with weed ID

I found this weed in the front of the school that I work at. Does anyone know what it is?

For some unknown reason, your photobucket images don't show up on my computer. The web address shows up in my "reply" window, but I'm not able to open them.

Too many https at the beginning of the URL for some reason. Where are you located? That might help with identifying.

Thank you for helping with the pics. I have a hard time with posting pics on some forums.
I live in Michigan.

Thanks,
Angie

RE: Help with weed ID

A post on another forum said that Yellow Rocket is in the Broccoli family and should only be fed every now and then. Hmmmm....
I have more pics of weeds I hope someone can help with.
Thanks Again,
Angie
