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. |

Michelle Your time in the fight does not qualify you to be rude to a new member to the list. Give Kathie some room to be creative in her thinking. Tolerance for one's own views only, is not tolerance. I have been in the struggle longer than you. So What? That does not qualify me for anything, especially not the "right" to be disrespectful. Again, most of you only see your point of view and fail to see even a possible good point in an opposing point of view. Perhaps, neither of you is correct. It could be a combination of many opinions which would be best. One point from the left and one point from the center and one point from the right together may be the truth. Think about it and give others a chance to express their views without feeling it might elicit someone's rude put down. I have seen this education business from the 60s to the present, in the city and in the suburb. I still sub and I am nearing 70. Thanks for allowing this old man his say. Joe Bo
