FPWLA (Pronounced "fip-wi-la")
This stands for "For People Who Love Acronyms". I have had nothing but meetings this week after my regularly scheduled day and I'm getting a bit tired of all the acronyms that are thrown around. Here are some acronyms that have been tossed around with their real meanings and also the meanings I made up in my head to amuse myself during these long meetings:
TILT:
Real Meaning - Teacher Intervention Learning Team
My Meaning - Tender Ingrates Love Torture
SST:
Real Meaning - Student Success Team
My Meaning - Stupendous Shit Throwing
IEP:
Real Meaning - Individualized Education Plan
My Meaning - Insipid Elephants wear Protection
FAPE:
Real Meaning - Free and Appropriate Public Education
My Meaning - Find All Prepubescent Eels
DI:
Real Meaning - Direct Instruction
My Meaning - Donkey Intercourse
Yes, I really do pay attention during meetings, but sometimes a little comic relief is JWIN (Just What I Need).

I think that's the BEST part of homeschooling for me...no more acronym meetings!!
When Z first started in SPED, it took me 6 months to figure out the significance of all the acronyms!
TSHS - I know, and to my shame, I use them too. Even though I know better... :-P
I hate acronyms. At work, they actually quiz us on some of their acronyms. I got to get out of there. Please, find me another job!
ZS - A quiz?!? Ugh - I don't blame you for finding new work. :-P
Julia - How time consuming - I would have needed a cheat sheet to read the technical orders.
Storm - Other people doodle in meetings or actually participate... I make up stuff. :-P Glad you liked it. :-)
