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. |

Thank you very much, Karen. This is precisely the type of information we were looking for (though STAR is not yet officially a high-stakes test). I did use a different URL to get the data, however . . . . . http://star.cde.ca.gov/star2000e/reports/05.html did the trick! Can ARN folk from other states point us to similar data about their state-mandated tests?
