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. |

According to Ed Week, nearly 30K schools failed to make AYP last school year, not including NY and 2 other states - so the numbers will be higher. That's a 13% jump from previous year. They don't say what percentage of US schools this is, but says nearly 20% (will be over with NY, I assume) missed 2 years in a row. Also say that <3,559 schools-4 percent of all schools rated based on their progress-are facing the law's more serious interventions in the current school year.> Report: 28% more schools missed NCLB targets in 2007-08 school year During the 2007-08 school year, nearly 30,000 U.S. schools failed to make adequate yearly progress as defined by states under NCLB, according to research findings published in Education Week that compile state results released throughout the year. Nearly 20% of all U.S. schools have missed their goals for two or more years and now face federal sanctions.
