The Editor
As a learner-support teacher, one of my goals is to increase my students' receptive and expressive vocabularies. I often turn to several different dictionaries, both the online version and the old-fashioned paper kind, to put together a comprehensive definition of a word.
Thus, with the aid of Oxford, Webster and Wikipedia, I offer this definition of mediation: to resolve or settle differences, through private and confidential negotiation, with all the conflicting parties, using a wholly impartial mediator to promote reconciliation and compromise.
It seems Premier Christy Clark could use a little extra tutoring on the concept. I offer my services.
