"As an educational leader, I am powerfully committed to collaboratively promote the successful learning of all students at Skyline High School, while simultaneously optimizing humaneness and respect for all, staff and students alike." - Tom Stumpf, Principal, Skyline High School

That's damned near incomprehensible.

Actually, that is typical edu-speak from a typical edu-crat.

"Full of syllables and feelings, signifying nothing." My apologies to Shakespeare, but I couldn't resist.

I call these types of statements "semantically null".

This guy sounded like he was desperately trying to remember the list of "power words" he was given at an NEA seminar.

Or most any other bureaucratic manger type. Private industry included. Lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I just got done reviewing a (Power Point) presentation made by a contractor to the Army. Pretty much the same thing, lots of management BS, very little technical content. (Partly because 2 years into the contract their system engineering team still doesn't understand (or buy into) the requirements.)

It certainly is a tale told by an idiot.
