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. |

I've seen the phrase "tutoring session" used in the press to mean one tutor, ten kids. (I think most people use the word "tutoring" to mean one tutor, one kid - or maybe two.) Does anyone know what size group they have in Milwaukeee for these "tutoring sessions"? Also, one minor thing: it seems fairly obvious that students who were "chronically absent from school" would be "less likely to register for and attend the tutoring sessions." I mean, if you aren't in school for whatever reason, you're unlikely to be at school before or after school, right?
