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".
In grades 6-8, isn't that not really very far from normal? ;)
If I had done that in grades 6-8, I'd have gotten the everloving shit
knocked out of me, and I wouldn't do it again.
But I graduated from high school in 1987...you graduated..."recently". ;)
Things have changed a lot since a good spanking became "wrong".
