Everybody Has an Acronym

Whatever happened to the good ol' Parent Teacher Conference? Hubby and I went to D4's S.E.O.P. today. Yah, that's right. S.E.O.P. Don't ask me. I have no idea what it stands for. I'm sure I could find out. I'm sure it's logical. But, is there something wrong with us just calling something by it's name. Do we have to shorten everything to an acronym these days? You go some places and they have so many acronyms it's like they are speaking a foreign language. Honestly--it just seems silly. By the way-D4 is doing great in the 8th grade and is headed for a Harvard Scholarship. OK--I'm exaggerating. But she is doing great and she's a terrific kid.
