Happiness and Randomness Overflowing

This post is really much ado about nothing (but has a small tie to school due to the definition included.)

Is your neighborhood about to get busy, like mine? School starts today!  I'm grateful I'm retired because that summer was too short, and the weather says  it's still summer and will be for a while.

You may know that I've been an avid crafter for as long as I can remember, and I follow a few different types of artists and crafters, many who sell their knowledge in a course, webinar, zoom call, prerecorded video (etc.).  But WHY does everyone think that if you call something an Academy, people will automatically think it is exclusive and better than a regular class?

Examples online :  The Crepe Paper Flower Academy,  The Better Life Academy, Learn (fill in the blank) Academy, Cutting Machine Academy, Organizer Academy,  Watercolor Painting Academy.

The definition of Academy is  a school that teaches a specific skill or subject, a private high school, or an official group of experts who work to advance art, science, or literature.  It is also  a place of study, a special school, or a group that helps arts and sciences grow.

So, is it  legit to call these courses Academies?  What do you think?

Unfortunately, this is what it's like in school now.  The bully doesn't get in trouble.

Have a great week!
