In Holsinger’s book, school officials, speaking educationese, promise that as 100,000 children compete for 1,000 spots — the dreaded 1 percent rears its ugly head — there will be “a visionary, equitable, and inclusive admissions process.”

And in any case, they would have to be translated into modern educationese: Thou shalt model caring behaviors in interactive relationships with thy peer group.

This is almost impossible, because those in charge of our teachers colleges are bred on educationese, a term implying minimal knowledge of subject and maximal knowledge of "techniques."

It deplores neologisms but scatters its own through the text: educationese, initialese, sequelant, beslang.

In what Thomas W. Braden, president of the state board of education, calls a deathblow to "educationese," the state is drastically upgrading its teacher certification requirements.
