IME ECE teachers were always the WORST about taking their textbook terminology a little to seriously. It was a running joke in college with those of us in secondary ed. it was all they had going for them.  

I joke. Please don't send flamethrowers.

My bff from college is a former ECE teacher turned home DCP. She's great at her job, loves what she does has a great program. However she'll say things like "We worked on tactile sensory devlopment today and really stimulated the left side of the brain following Bloom's taxonomy and worked on the core standards as I've aligned my curriculum to the kindergarten at the local public school!"

So you had the kids cut numbers in play-doh with cookie cutters.......awesome! 

I don't think that's what Bloom's taxonomy is...

Lol.  I was just joking for the sake of an example. It was the first psych term that popped in my head and I ran with it. I was  not being literal.

I happened to be in CPR Training today and there was a woman there who works in childcare. Forget the immediate side eye stuff of her not being able to get up from kneeling without someone to help her and interrupting the instructor to speak quieter when he was doing a demo of calling for help. (He was trying to be interesting. It wasn't as loud as kids).
When the man said 'what if you have to do cPr on a kid?' A couple times, she interrupted him and said 'child. Not kid'
So he changed it from them on.
Is kid offensive? Seriously? When he said midget earlier (That one was an honest mistake) she didn't bat an eye.

The bolded is the most offensive thing I see in this thread.

I don't care if you can't get up from kneeling. I would care if you were minding my child.
