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] NCLB reductio ad absurdum
Forgot to mention--you write "Paul tough's article argues that the choice provisons have led to promising developments like charter schools and particularly KIPP schools." That's an erroneous line of argument and Tough doesn't make it. KIPP is independent of NCLB. KIPP got started in 1994 and its big break came in 1999 with a $15 million grant from the Gap people. NCLB did not make charters possible either. Charters got off the ground in 1992 and were well established in most states (more than 2500 as I recall), by the time NCLB came along. JB
