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. |
[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] AYP debate
Happy to report that the Bd of directors of our State Union (NEA state affiliate), support my resolution that we have a belief that NCLB is not working to achieve educational excellence, and my NBI that HSTA inform its members that AYP as a measure of school and teacher quality is flawed. The resolution was unanimous and the NBI had one in opposition (don't know why except that he said AYP has never been about judging teacher quality). I was surprised that I didn't get more opposition, given that so many had argued against me at a previous meeting. What this all means, I hope, is that we will eventually put some of our dues money into shedding the light of truth on what NCLB has done to the schools. Perhaps it will lead to more and more teachers and parents speaking up and taking back their schools.
