Opis

SchoolSpeak is a tongue-in-cheek educational dictionary whose definitions are infused with a small dose of truth and a generous dollop of satire to poke fun at those who take themselves a little too seriously.For instance; Cognitive Dissonance - What happens when teachers or parents try to correlate common sense with district policy. Middle School - The place Satan sends those for whom Hell is insufficiently torturous. Portfolio - A weighty compendium of useless trivia designed to do nothing. It succeeds admirably. Superintendent of Education - Comes in two flavors - State and District; a case of the bland leading the blind. SchoolSpeak makes a great gift for teachers, parents of school-aged children and anyone with a sense of humor who has not forgotten their schooldays.
