Words I Hate
Published on September 20, 2012 by LeeBinz
There are certain words I hate. They don’t seem to be important for homeschooling. Although I know it can be useful for some people, many of these words have their roots in public schools.
rubric
literary analysis
umbrella organization
accountability
benchmark
credential
inclusive
norm or normative
socialization
alternative education
accreditation
parent-partnership
certified
approved
In fact, to me some words just scream “Certified teacher! Lookout!” Some things are useful – even important – with public school children or in a brick and mortar school. That doesn’t mean they are words that are important for homeschoolers, or in your homeschool.
What words do YOU hate?
