Today was kidzookie's first day of second grade. They don't do registration the week before school like they did when I was a kid, so we walked him in so that we could get all the info we need.
TEACHER: Also, put a Y next to his name if you're going to buy him a Scholaskit dictionary.
TACO: What did you say?
WIFEZILLA: [frantically waving Taco off]
TEACHER: A Scholaskit dictionary. We encourage the students to have one.
TACO: We have a collegiate dictionary.
TEACHER: But the Scholaskit dictionary is user friendly.
TACO: Excuse me?
TEACHER: It's easier for the kids to learn to use.
TACO: He already knows how to use a dictionary.
TEACHER: But the Scholaskit dictionary is user friendly.
TACO: [hands dictionary to Kidzookie] Look up "ubermensch."
KIDZOOKIE: [flips through] It's not in here.
TACO: [hands dictionary back to teacher] We'll keep the collegiate dictionary.

Having asked you and found out what the fuck a Scolaskit is I demand you get your child away from this haven of fuckwittery as quickly as possible.
Also, OED for the win.
Scholastic Dictionary perhaps? :)
I hate to be That Guy, but I have it on good authority that it's pronounced "scholaskit."
You, sir, are my hero. Adopt me?
Done and done, sir.
