A satirical inventory of once-serious words now stretched, softened, and repurposed beyond recognition in the AI-saturated language of modern education.
How correct you are! Thank you for your clarity of vision. Education, surely, is 'to lead forth' and not to allow students to flounder in the morass of unknowing. Teachers, even when we don't agree with them, can show us the ultimate gems that allow complete understanding. This gives the students the ability to unlock the processes to an open and informed mind.
Because, of course, “maths” is much too clumsy to say in an American accent. We also say “science” instead of “sciences” and “history” instead of “histories.” But, oddly enough, we say “phonics” instead of “phonic.”
Please make a bingo card for teachers to use in faculty meetings
Merciless and hilarious. Ah, I needed that. Please let readers know if you speak on any podcasts!

Wonderful. You might add 'Problem based learning'. Used to be known as....Math
I thought it was maybe “your” penchant for dropping letters: colour, sulphur etc..
Although I noticed the international chemistry spelling is now sulfur 🙄. Ok you won that one 🤭
Sciences and Histories are mostly just used as plurals over here. 🏴
But always remember it’s haggi, not haggis’ or haggises! 😂
From the other side of the pond, Why is it only Math in the US but Maths in the UK?
