And Tango Makes Three will be hitting the shelves this year in the U.K. Richard Lea has written a balanced article about the controversial title for the Guardian. Lea talks to the authors about the genesis of the book and discusses the reactions to it in the U.S. Lea also notes,
"Educationalists and librarians are expecting a much more muted reaction when the book is published in the UK later this year. 'I often think there will be some sort of a reaction,' says the chair of the UK's Youth Libraries Group, Ian Dodds, 'but it doesn't come.'"
Well, that's a big surprise.
=========================
U.K. residents: Is "educationalist" a word? What happened to educator?
Annoyingly it is treated as a real word... Bah humbug !
Ummm...make that "mangle" instead of "managle." Sheesh!
Well, I have to say, Michele, that as an American I am thrilled to see you guys managle the language as much as we do :)
I like it-- I think it opens the field up to people who are involved in education, but aren't actively educating others.
For instance, I do not consider myself an educator, but I do consider myself part of the education field. I would consider myself an "Educationalist".
But, then again, I like made-up words.
Perhaps if the two words refer to different levels of expertise or different job responsibilities, or simply infer different things, it would make sense.
Anyway, GO TANGO!
I love this book and was so glad to see it on your blog!!
I like Tango, but Kelly, wow, just gotta say that the design change here looks good!
Some of us manage to "managle" it a little less than others, though... *grins*
