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'm not sure anyone bothers to tell them anything. I take that back, I think they have presentation notes on their website-- as does our A+ commission. The notes are self incriminating, by far in favor of dumping or thoroughly changing the intended use of the WASL, but nobody seems to care. A+ is governor appointed. They do a lot of squabbling and then the state superintendent who sits on the A+ (I think literally) gets her way. I guess they think the whole education world is blind to their politics. Seems like more than just bad drivers has migrated up the coast. (no offense to California drivers.)
