At 33 years-old it is astonishing that I am even alive—well, if the British educrats are right.

The bulk of my education was provided by the guv’ment schools—it was thankfully devoid of the temper-tantrum, diaper-changing curriculum that has stained public education today.

According to a Reuter’s article [here] released today, members of the Professional Association of Teachers (PAT) in Britain want to ban the use of the word “fail.”

They want the word removed from the classroom and replaced instead with the term “deferred success.” The word “fail” is demoralizing for the students.

Deferred success? What the hell is that? It sounds like a euphemism for your kid is retarded.

It’s demoralizing? Oh, you nutty Brits.

You know what else is demoralizing? Illiteracy and unemployment.

According to Reuter’s the group wants to avoid “labeling children.”

“We recognize that children do not necessarily achieve success first time,” he said.

Don’t achieve success the first time? Ah, that’s terrible!

Then again, with stupid instruction methods that ban the word “fail” the students won’t succeed the second time either…or the third, or fourth, or fifth…
