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...
This is what happens when we make disciplining our children illegal.
