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. |

It is true that we could scrap WASL and use another test to meet the requirements of NCLB. You only have to do two things. First, convince the governor, legislature, principals, taxpayers, and all the other constituents who have come this far with WASL to start over. Second, convince the feds. Art >>> Jedoyon@AOL.COM 12/03/02 09:27AM >>> Does anyone have a good enough handle on NCLB to confirm, refute, or expound on these statements? I have a teacher on my list who is trying to write a column including the idea that we could scrap WASL and use better means to fulfill NCLB. from the Spokesman-Review: "Current state testing forms the baseline by which improvement must be measured." from the teacher: "I was under the impression that we were not required by the federal mandate to continue using the WASL; i.e., other tests could be used to show the required improvement."
