the child will be sent to our media center to engage in an individual literacy activity directed by the teacher

Is that what we used to call “study hall” or Library? Why don’t they just say so!

Yes, the translation of the above educrat-speak is: the child will be sent to the library to read a book.

And the reason they don't just say that is they want to sound smarter than they are so they clutter their writing with useless words.

Jargon extraordinaire! This kind of dual language reminds me of other eras when cognoscenti used language that was above the vernacular in order to maintain mystique and power.

Said power groups usually met their downfall by not being able to keep the “lower orders” from developing new technologies.

This means that the Leftist American Education System might be approaching the same demise as Leftist commercial media are facing now.

More and more parents are seeing the superior values of home schooling and co-op based community schooling. Children love it, too.
