Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |
[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] A Nation At Risk
Attached is my op-ed length piece on the upcoming 25th anniversary of A Nation At Risk posted today on the Huffington Post.. As noted therein, the April Kappan has a number of articles looking back and also contains my own longer takeon the 20th anniversay, the April 2003 issue. More important than any of this, I think, are the three articles in the same Kappan on education in and for a democracy. As with the brief statement I reported from Finn and Ravitch ("we were wrong"), I think these articles signal statements of hope. I suspect that because of Kappan deadlines, these articles were written before Barack Obama became so popular as a harbinger of hope. If so, they are even more hopeful. We might yet end the dark night of NCLB and associated atrocities. Jerry
