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. |

Did anybody notice that 10% of "gifted" children, that is, those in the top 5% did not pass their "standards" test? The goal of NCLB is 100% pass, but if gifted kids can't even pass this hurdle, what does that make the goal for everybody??? That compares with 25% of high schools students who qualify to take college level course who do not pass WASL. That's why we have to pass everybody who tries, and just use test scores for ranking purposes only.
