I was once graphically exposed to the education term-of-art "issues" and
have never forgotten it. I'd decided to do some volunteer tutoring of
students in a local middle school (US grades 6-8) here. I was warned by
a friend who taught in the same system that this was one school where
they were attempting to "mainstream" children with behavioral problems.
I Asked him what that entailed. He responded only that some children
had issues.
Uh-huh. Running around the classroom screaming in today's edu-talk is a
behavioral "issue".
My god, what today's teachers have to endure...
