I vote we ban the word "ban".

I vote we ban the word "ban".

But if we ban "ban" what will Scutter call his B** Hammer? Lucy? Maybe Maxwell?

 

[Double T]

Why not ban the word competent(sp?) None of them seem to fit the bill anyway.

They should just ban language altogether, let the classes be conducted in gutteral grunts and hoots. And no writing either.

Hey, let's just ban schools in New York.

Anyone with any sense and/or money would not leave their kids in that system.

 

[IndyDave1776]

Do you think they will ban words like 'responsibility', 'work', or 'thinking'?

Yeah....and then people could go to law school at Costco. Our current President already acts like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

It worked in the movie. Right?

What's really behind this? Fear of angry parents who might complain that Johnny is being exposed to ideas contrary to their belief system? Wacko education theorists who actually believe this is good for the kids? Bureaucrats who have to invent a program to respond to some initiative that the leadership created, just to for the sake of looking like they're doing something?

Wow, you didn't have to go all offensive on this one.

I like your idea on banning the language, but grunts and hoots offend me, so that won't work. And do not suggest looking at each other as communication- it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Quote below taken from the "Why haven't you attended an Appleseed?" thread. It seems we have a few men in our midst that do interpretive dance. I'm just wondering if Rimshot (aka Bubba) wears tactical sandals when he get's jiggy with it.

However, I think Bubba (Rimshot) is planning to debut some new dance moves that weekend. Everyone will have a fine time!

Most of the time when an ugly hairy guy is trying out his new dance moves,the interpretation is clear to me......Too much Jack and Coke!

They're talking about standardized tests.

I really can't bring myself to care what words they choose to 'ban' on standardized tests. If they want to avoid certain topics to keep the tests as objective as possible, I really have no complaint.

You do have a point. Although, I have seen it done in a few hippie drum circles too. Just sayin...

The democrats are already working those three words.
