"Child Success Specialist"

[Jonathan Lighter]

Cheli Cerra is a former teacher and principal who appeared on Fox News this morning to comment on the Tacoma school shooting.

  Cerra was identified without elucidation as a "Child Success Specialist." This seems to mean "speaker on issues concerning elementary and secondary education" but is far catchier.

  Her promotional website [http://www.educationspeakersgroup.com/c_cerra.html] says that "Cheli, a wife and working mother of two, understands the reality of everyday life and creates strategies to meet these challenges quickly and easily."

  Wow !  How many of *us* can meet the challenges of reality "quickly and easily" ?  That's why she's the specialist ! (And "considered 'America’s Most Trusted Principal'"
