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. |

-----Original Message----- From: jhorn@monmouth.edu To: arn-l@interversity.org Sent: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 6:03 AM Subject: [arn-l] test repeal or tweaking? ...The parents' reactions? They don't want their children's esteem to be damaged by the intrusive BMI test. Never mind that their children's psychological, intellectual, emotional, and physical health is being sacrificed by a testing juggernaut aimed at producing compliant robots who will unquestioningly waddle down the job path for which their standardized test scores point them. Irony? What irony? _______________________________ The irony is that someone connected with public education believes that American parents are so clueless as to ignore "psychological, intellectual, emotional, and physical" damage being casused to their kids by reading and math tests. It's like you think every American family needs you to tell them how to raise their kids. Art ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
