Abstract:

Let's lighten things up a bit with this delightful article by Education World columnist Linda Starr, who shares 20 excerpts from her "Dictionary of Education Euphemisms." Here's a sample to whet your appetite: "'Sarah exhibits exceptional verbal skills and an obvious propensity for social interaction.' (She never stops talking.)" OK, one more: "'Jonathan accomplishes tasks when his interest is frequently stimulated.' (He has the attention span of a gnat.)" Follow the link above and read them all!
