Acronymsland in School

I came to this awareness that suddenly it seems that in the school environment, we are using so much acronyms that it seems that a coded way teachers used with each other, like in the military. Here it goes some of the acronyms: EPMS, SEM, LNA, PPR, EASA, EASS, NE to subjects example, F & N, D & T, to the CCAs like NPCC, NCC, and the new NCDCC. Confusing?

Any teacher will know what EPMS stands for and will know how painful it is to get through it as it is a record of what a teacher has done throughout the year, unless a person has mega memory, the rest are actually struggling to recall. Worse, it ask for actual date for the event. Maybe the acronym EPMS can stay, but change the name to Extraordinary Pre-Menstrual Syndrome, no offence to the women community, but the EPMS is like PMS, painful, makes you feel sick and bleed the brain cells to death from all that amount of recall. E for extraordinary as it is not the usual PMS.

Why I blog about this is because even the school is closed, but teachers are still clearing this stuff (EPMS, LNA, PPR, SEM) before holiday actually begins in 18 nov. 13 more days to go. Hurry!!!

I think after Christmas most teachers will have to attend staff and departmental meetings and get ready for the new school year. It is one of the most anxious and stressful times for a teacher.

Teachers look forward to and deserve the long year-end holidays.

Have a pleasant holiday.
