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. |

I was stunned, too. Greene usually writes in a calm voice and in the debate I have had with him on charters and the debate he had with Larry Mishel on graduation/dropout rates, he was Mr. Soft-soft-spoken-nice-guy. Maybe Arkansas doesn't agree with him, temperament wise. -------Original Message------- From: Kevin G Welner Date: 4/16/2009 11:33:14 AM To: gerald bracey; arn-l@interversity.org Cc: Kevin Welner; gary.miron@wmich.edu Subject: Re: [arn-l] Jay Greene opines at WSJ That's quite a startling piece. Gary Miron (cc-ed) is probably the most knowledgeable person re the research summary elements. As for the union issues, I think Greene probably just needs some anger-management counseling. ---- Original message ---- >Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 08:46:52 -0700 >From: "gerald bracey" <gbracey@q.com> >Subject: Re: [arn-l] Jay Greene opines at WSJ >To: <arn-l@interversity.org> >Cc: "Kevin Welner" <welner@colorado.edu> > >Get it out to whom?
