Acronyms really get on my T.I.T.S.
Half the time they invent the acronym before what it stands for, just because they like the look of the stupid acronym!
I agree. I'm governed by acronyms in my job. :thinking:
Deadlines are dictated by the C.O.P., I oversee the management of I.E.P.s, I liaise with the L.E.A. and S.N.-I.P., submit some of my work for perusal by the S.N.A.P. and day to day work is also decided by the L.O.s.
I was given a book of acronyms to explain what they all stood for but, as they change on a regular basis as departments alter, it's now out of date.
And even my job title has an acronym ........ I'm a S.E.N.Co.
And the translation for all of those?
C.O.P. ........ Code of Practice
I.E.P. ....... Individual Education Programme
L.EA. ....... Local Education Authority
S.N.-I.P. ....... Special Needs Involving Parents
S.N.A.P. ..... Special Needs Assessment Panel
L.O. ....... Learning Objectives
S.E.N.Co ....... Special Educational Needs Coordinator
But the one acronym that really matters, in my opinion, is the one from this forum ........ F.A.R.T.ing. :wink:
