What I disliked most when my kids were in school was the gobbly gook speak. My daughter's first grade teacher told me in conference that she "tries to socialize in class". I had to ask the teacher did that mean she "talks in class" and she said yes. Geez.
I don't think the teachers used phrases like that when i was a kid. I DID talk in class when I was through with my work - I was bored, and needed something to do. I wasn't the kind of kid to sit quietly with my hands folded and be angelic. I needed activity!
