Even though this is a post from the super cool WeAreTeachers.com geared for middle-school teachers, all of us working in schools...especially if you grew up in the 1980's...can relate to these little gems.
Well done Melanie Amichetti!

Ferris Bueller Chimes In On Merriam-Webster's "Word Of The Year"
A person should not believe in an ism. He should believe in himself. ~ Ferris Bueller
It's that time of year when Merriam-Webster declares its "Word Of The Year". And what word generated the most traffic through the online dictionary this year? Well, none really.This year Webster went with the suffix "-ism" due to the amount of searches for words like racism, terrorism, and fascism.
Proving once again that almost everything you really need to know can come from an 80's movie, the philosopher Ferris Bueller chimes in from 30 years ago on our newly minted "Word Of The Year".
And that is the last word on that.
