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 don't understand the impulse to take examples of poor practice and citing it as evidence that an idea is flawed. It is possible to find lousy teaching or schooling through any methodology or approach (and there are examples of people doing wonderful things through questionable strategies). I never suggested one room schoolhouses, nor that it was automatically a success. I do strongly believe that students and teachers work better together when they know each other, when they have the time to pay attention to each other and to the work, and that teachers who work with way too many students rarely have time to get to know more than a few in any real way.
