Hi
An FE colleague recently revealed that her institution discouraged the
use of the above terms - as they are regarded as non PC, the reason
being that they may gve offence to people with epilepsy.
Apparently, though, it's okay to use 'spider-diagrams' and 'thought
showers' (gawd!).
Perhaps I'm being insensitive but I find this level of 'control' quite
irritating and can't quite see how someone with epilepsy could be
disturbed by the terms.
Any thoughts?
