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. |

It's worse than ridiculous. I'm afraid there's more. Same friend, same child, school TEA (Texas Education Agency, n'est pas?) rating exemplary. This is what my son went through last year. The anger one feels in this situation is difficult to describe. ================================= Tonite we had a major fiasco. @@@@@ forgot his writing assignment at school. He was crying his eyes out saying I must take him back to the school to get it or he will have to stay after school. I have never seen this child so upset in my life. I told him I'd write a note but that it was too late to go back to the school. He said the teacher told the students that a note from the parent will not do any good. Carol, I thought he was gonna have a fricken break-down. He said he was almost finished with it paper, a persuasive essay for the taas prep. He said he was ready to wear his button. What are they doing to our children? > > << Poor kids! It isn't fair, it isn't right! >> > > It certainly isn't! It's downright ridiculous! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the ARN-L list, send command SIGNOFF ARN-L to LISTSERV@LISTS.CUA.EDU.
