Re: special needs / the word school

**So perhaps this is another hot button word problem. When I say he
goes to 'school' over there the quote marks signify that that is what
we call it, but not necessarily what it is. I suppose we could
just call it the Alan Parsons Project instead.

:::: a tangent ::::
It just struck me that maybe the reason the words "school" and
"schooled" sound so bad to me is that they sound a lot like "scold",
which has very unpleasant connotations.
(I'm getting video and audio clip of a teacher from any Charlie Brown
video using that WAH-WAH voice to teach/scold a kid.)
