To soothe the bruised egos of educators and children in lackluster schools, Massachusetts officials are now pushing for kinder, gentler euphemisms for failure.
This reminds me of a Green Party meeting I was once at. Someone handed out a report, started speaking about it, asking people to refer to the bullet points.
A hand shot up in the back and a woman said, can we please call them something else, bullets are so violent.
