This may seem like a somewhat unusual post, however after having a conversation with a very upset parent today, I think it is something I should share. This parents anger stemmed from what she thought was my use of inappropriate language in the presence of several children. Let me explain... I was speaking with another parent, about his child, and said that he/she was going Balls to the wall. I can understand why someone might unknowingly assume that it is an inappropriate saying, however I assure you it is not. The term is the aviation equivalent of Pedal to the metal. I am putting this out there in case anyone else that heard my conversation feels it was language not suitable for children. I deeply appreciate this parent coming to me about this, and am equally impressed that she takes the welfare of the children at our school so seriously. In the end we both had a good laugh about the situation. :-) wordorigins.org/index.php/balls_to_the_wall/u
