Describing v4 as having "issues" is
like describing Tuberculosis(sp) as
being a "slight cough".
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...
Heh. My wife is joining their ranks this coming school year (at 45!).
I'm so proud her I could just burst. :)
She'll be dealing with high school age kids which I suspect has its own
"challenges". :) A soon-to-be co-worker gave her a copy of a book titled
"The Survival Guide for First Year Teachers". It's an inch and a half
thick. I fear for her sanity. :)
