Lists | [no subject] : ARN-L : February 2004

"These should be the underlying assumptions we make every day in regard to 
student learning.  This attitude of success needs to be instilled in students, 
their parents and the community at large."

You may know, Art, did this come from a form letter sent to all districts by 
the Bergeson administration?  Just who is attempting attitude control here-- 
or telling parents how to raise their kids?  Certainly not me.

Not that "attitudes of success" are necessarily a bad thing, it's whose brand 
of success that I'm worried about.  

And this is all I'm going to say here, now, because I have a campaign to win.

If anyone has the time to find the young man who is being chastised for 
finding meaningless bubbles meaningless, please let me know off list.  I'd like to 
send buttons.  I wonder if the parents were aware that the tests were even 
being administered.  hmmmmm......

How do we get some words of support to these kids?

Just go to their homes, knock on their doors, and tell their parents that you 
are there to tell them how to raise their kids.  I'm sure that will go over 
really well.
