Oh My Christ! Just gouge my fucking eyes out and piss in the sockets!


This is a follow up to the article by the New Zealander I posted the other day. It's infuriating.


Actual Reuters Title for the Article: "Get ready to email this one to your friends..."

LONDON (Reuters) - The word "fail" should be banned from use in British classrooms and replaced with the phrase "deferred success" to avoid demoralizing pupils, a group of teachers has proposed.
Members of the Professional Association of Teachers (PAT) argue that telling pupils they have failed can put them off learning for life.
A spokesman for the group said it wanted to avoid labeling children. "We recognize that children do not necessarily achieve success first time," he said.
"But I recognize that we can't just strike a word from the dictionary," he said.
