I was at a teacher meeting today where the speaker kept talking about "the leaders."  "The leaders have created a set of beliefs about assessment."  "The leaders have listened to your previous concerns."  "The leaders have done an impressive job with setting up our future action plan."  After awhile, I asked someone, "Who are the leaders?"
Turns out the leaders are the district principals.  Why they can't be called "the principals," I don't know,  but this constant reference to "the leaders" creeped me out a little bit.  I'm still a little freaked out by it, to tell you the truth.
