I looked up the word "medicore" in the Merriam-Websters online dictionary and ironically, it had only ONE entry: Main Entry: me·di·o·cre Pronunciation: "mE-dE-'O-k&r Function: adjective Etymology: Middle French, from Latin mediocris, from medius middle + Old Latin ocris stony mountain; akin to Latin acer sharp -- more at EDGE:
of moderate or low quality, value, ability, or performance
Acadamnation: a small community of professors interested in discussing the frustrations of teaching and the pervasive culture of mediocrity that we teach against. Grumble grumble. We need a margarita.
