    Hearing all of these reminds me of my mental list of things NOT to say during the parent-teacher conference. My favorite:

    "Well, if you're going to continue to teach 'the cat sat on the mat,' could you at least open the windowshade so he'll have something interesting to look at?"

    "2e is a comfort phrase for parents who have a hard time accepting a SpEd child."
    "2e means consulting with the classroom, not direct services."

    *snicker* This reminds me of the time my dad had me read aloud from one of his college engineering texts for his friends. I was 4 probably. Then I explained what I just read...lol!
