Speech and Language for PMA's

Created by Amber Wright, Modified on Thu, 18 Aug 2022 at 09:27 PM by Amber Wright

Do I need to change my speech when I transition from Public to Private?

Basically, it goes to freedom of speech. 

When we are a PMA, we are able to use the language which best suits us. This may include using words like, "Center of Learning" instead of school... because we want to differentiate our center vs the public education system. However, within our organization, I often slip and call it a school... this is me using my freedom of speech within the private domain, to my associates.


With your clients, make it clear you are in the Private Domain. Have them sign a membership agreement and/or state clearly the membership agreement (sign on door, entrance to property/building, on advertisements, and paperwork for exchanges). Then, once in private domain, use the words which best suits you and your interaction. (Amber Wright)
