So, I was at an IEP review meeting the other day. For those who don’t know, that’s when the regular and special ed. teachers, parents, guidance counselor, assistant principal, etc. meet to review the “Individualized Education Plan” for a student. It was after I had seen that this post was upcoming. (Psst, Michael, it’s no longer upcoming.) The SpEd teacher was talking about teaching the student to embellish his writing. I had the completely misguided thought that the others in the room would be interested in the current slang for such a process — “Oh, you’re teaching him to pimp his sentences.”
Well, there was a variety of response, but it included a greater degree of distress that I would use such a word and less amusement than I had anticipated. But I still have my job.
Matisyahu’s achselite?
Oy vey.

Adam, what does your comment mean?
Jennifer, I think the question translated from the yiddish is, “Matt’s brother?” But I could be wrong.
An what kind of response did you get?
