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. |

Thanks to Ken Bernstein for his very helpful response. A revision might be: "However, for those who chose to participate in NCLB, actual budget allocations never reached authorized limits, according to Senator Kennedy's office." Thanks, again, Ken.

In neither case does a state have to accept the money, but if they do they most abide by the conditions imposed in the law and regs. By contrast, IDEA is an unfunded mandate, because the original law defined the federal share as 40% of the average additional costs, but the highest the federal share has ever been was 19% in FY2005 (not the 17% stated by Clinton in her town hall meeting about an hour ago), and in FY s007 it was 17%. teacherken aka ken bernstein Kenneth J.
