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. |

Our state budget (Oregon) is facing massive cuts due to the economic slowdown. One of the plans floating around is to use the ~$50 M from the Bush bill to backfill the general fund for K-12 (because of property tax limitations, the vast majority of K-12 funds comes from the state, not local souirces). Yet my casual read of the FairTest summary and the general press is that the ed. funds in this bill are targeted funds and targeted specifically at Title I schools or individuals targeted for assistance. You can't just pour these Fed Funds into the general funds hopper and allocate them to all schools. Am I right? Thanks for your help.
