Hi, Elyssa! I also agree with your post. Many, many times the "good but catty" is doublespeak for "rowdy, out-of-control, excessively talkative and hyperactive students." Remember the number about doublespeak in school districts? As you see, my cartoons are grounded on sheer reality, and this doublespeak stuff is one of the things I cover in my work. I have had teachers who at least are honest and tell it like it is. One of them has told me in plain language that her students have given up, are rude, and will try to tag and steal-and it was true. I'd rather like being told the truth and thus know what to expect, than being lied to and be given a false sense of security. Take care! Ze
