The most over used words in education

During the two weeks in the Fall every year when as a nation we remember we care about education you can't  read a news paper or magazine or watch TV with out encountering the words "it's all about the kids".  The state wide news paper uses the phrase so much I all most checked with a copy right lawyer before I reprinted it here.  I often wonder about it's constant use in that it is usually in conjunction with a demand for teachers to do more take less and in general sacrifice because in education "it's all about the kids".  I feel bad for doctors and nurses because while they make up over half of the highest paying jobs in America nobody thinks what they do is important enough to warrant a constant reminder that it is all about the patients.
