Stupidest Quotation Of July
From Rory, whose daughter’s teacher said the following:
You daughter is a good reader, she just has problems with her decoding
One more time: The fundamental problem with education is that idiots like this become teachers.
Kendra:
haha. Several of my daughter’s teachers have also been idiots. Let’s see– one sent out emails to parents that are completely misspelled and also uses the word “irregardless”. Another, at a JEWISH Day School, said nothing when one of the children (then 8) suggested they all move to Yemen because there was no income tax!

Is “decoding” teacher-speak for “comprehension”? Is there a dictionary of teacher terms we should take to parent-teacher conferences?
