certified
(ˈsɜːtɪˌfaɪd)This content is certified!
I was looking for a rights free 'Certified' image that I could stick here from Google Advanced Image Search and strangely enough I couldn't find one.
I am not making this up.
I had to make up a 'CERTIFIED!' image to use above.
All certified stamps like these ones below I am not allowed to use.
So please help me God for I have sinned!
Strange how much value people put on an ugly stamp like the ones above.
I could be Google Certified, Microsoft Certified, JC 1002 Certified, Common Core Certified, ETS Certified, Pearson Certified...
Except I am not. I am just me.
So I have no right to use the badges.
BOOOOOO (he weeps)
Apparently this is the desired outcome of education.
We are working really, really hard for an official stamp.
Why bother?
I just copied my stamps off the net and I have certified my blog post as @sensor63 genuine.
This is just like many Chinese students do when they come to study in France.
They go to Paris and spend 3000 dollars to get a fake stamp.
When they go home to their parents, they go back with a fake university degree.
The parents are proud.
Before they come to France they pay to a language testing company to get a fake certificate which attests to their proficiency in French.
I could go on a long time about certified content
I already have...

Oh and probably some others...
I can't really be bothered now to look.
If you have read this far.
You are a champion.
You are getting to the important bit.
If you read the other blog posts and comment I will try to reply nicely to your comments.
But if you are only interested in the important bit.
Here it is:
CERTFIED by @sensor63
Write your email in the box.
Write the name of the French education minister in the second box. If you don't like the question that is tough because I AM THE BOSS.
If you get it right I will send you an official badge.
NO CHEATING ALLOWED. NO GOOGLING!!
Very nice post. Reads well aloud - male voice, female voice, it doesn't matter. I didn't enter the competition because I'm not a fan of stamps. And the form is intimidating and reminds me of tests. And I wasn't good at content at school because I daydreamed and so even now I daydream through news programs and no nothing about French ministers for education or any other cation.
ReplyDeleteI will give you top comment award.
DeleteVery pleased the form is intimidating.
I no nothing either.
Here you go, an uncertified remitigation: https://flic.kr/p/soQngM
ReplyDeleteI read and ignored your boss management--you can't manage complexity or chaos. Actually, I didn't realize till after I had done my response that there was some kind of contest. Classic definition of rhizomatic action-wordless, clueless, more is less.
ReplyDeleteI hope I didn't break anything.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of fun parody badges could we create for #rhizo15....
ReplyDeleteI was thinking a "your content is certified people" badge would be fun...
