EDUSPEAK- The newest language barrier

Communication seems to be difficult enough as it is, with the number of languages present in any given community, without adding more sets of ambiguous words into the academic arena. With a multitude of definitions for the same words, you may now need to clarify your intentions depending on your audience.
Much like the problem with governmental jargon Eduspeak does not stand to benefit anyone but those in the hierarchial positions who invented it. The Quebec Education Program (QEP) is the perfect example of a disadvantage in this area. The QEP is formulated by members of government, involved in the ministry of education. It is a document that dictates what teachers must teach using extremely vague terms. Not only is this an attempt to control what people think through limiting and constraining what can be taught, but it also generates a lot of confusion as the language is often difficult to understand and can be interpreted in more than one way. We are further inconvenienced by this new vocabulary as it widens the gap between the already difficult parent-teacher communication. Eduspeak offends parents just as teenagers who develop their own type of slang lingo do to those who are trying to communicate with them. In the case of teens, the purpose of an alternate language is to keep others out of their conversations or enable them to speak amongst themselves without some people understanding their meaning. If there are similar intentions on the part of the developers of Eduspeak there can be no surprise that there are so many issues between teachers and their administration, as well as teachers and parents.
