British School Bans the Word "School"
If politically correct British educrats keep banning words at the current rate, students and teachers will soon be reduced to communicating with hand signs and grunts. The latest to be struck from the Newspeak dictionary is "school."
Linda Kingdon, head teacher at Watercliffe Meadow Primary, explains why her school is not a school but a "place for learning":
One reason was many of the parents of the children here had very negative connotations of school. Instead, we want this to a be a place for family learning, where anyone can come. We were able to start from scratch and create a new type of learning experience. There are no whistles or bells or locked doors. We wanted to deinstitutionalize the place and bring the school closer to real life.
As an educrat, Dingdong has never actually experienced real life, but she may have learned about it at a seminar.
Her "place of learning" isn't alone. Barnsley, South Yorkshire is replacing its secondary schools with "advanced learning centers."
If the practice of suppressing words in favor of stilted descriptive phrases continues, they may soon have to replace "educrat" with "useless politically correct education-corroding ignoramus."
On a tip from Burning Hot.

Dingdong....LOL!
Anything coming out of Britain surprises me no longer. I've written them off, don't wish to visit, goodbye. It's an island chock-full of moonbats and muslims.

This is classic libtardism.
Step 1: You come up with some thoroughly unthought-out utopian scheme. You put it into practice. The Law of Unintended Consequences gives you a disaster.
Step 2: You add tons more money and reload... same result.
Step 3: repeat step 2 many times... same result.
Step 4: !!!Bright idea!!! rename scheme, add more money, reload.
anyone wanna guess the results? </sarc>

With luck Britain will soon look like the movie Farenheit 451. Ok, the movie was ridiculous because no technologically advanced society could exist using only numbers and no letters or words. Otherwise its muzzie time.

I only use banned words to describe the downward spiral these poor folks are taking.

We used to have such places when I was a kid, we called them SCHOOLS!

Just wait until someone points out how exclusionary "Advanced Learning Centers" are.
The poor dolts stuck in the non-advanced learning centers are going to be made to feel awful!
And guess whose fault that will be?

Change "learning" to "Indoctrination". Then I'll say it.
