My school is building an English zone in the vacation.

They asked me to name it. Acronyms seem to be de rigeur for englishee jones, so I came up with B.E.S.T (Ban**** English Students' Town) Ban**** being the name of my school. I was tempted to add "With Experience" or something equally asinine but decided not to lay it on too thick.

What do you think? Did I screw up the one time where I was given a job that needed to be done right? Perhaps the most responsibility I've ever been given in my life. The next students and NET are going to be stuck with it. Or did I knock it out of the park?

Anyone else here ever named an English Zone?

What is the name at your school? If you have one.

Ours is simply called "English Cafe", although unfortunately they don't really sell drinks or snacks. At another school it is called "English World". The third school doesn't have one.

You should call yours "Seenykins Super English Zone" or "Seenykins SEZ" in shortened form.

Actually I was asked today to name the one they're building in my middle school this summer.

I offered "English Time."

I wish I had this name when the zone was put in my school.... I could have named it after my coteacher from Hell and invited students to tour "Ms. X's CLIT!!!" Twisted Evil
