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. |

Teresa, I think SFA came from Johns Hopkins - and I think has been bought by someone else now...a friend of mine worked for SFA in San Francisco for a while and I haven't heard much about them since she left...

It is hard to say without a history of the child and their education thus far. Nancy Most of these kids went through the Yale (I think?) Success For All program, which is scripted and very heavy on the multiple choice type question. They literally cannot read-- they can't sound anything out and they can't spell. We are considering going back and doing a whole phonics program with them to review the sounds of the letters. This is the first class in this area to have had SFA all the way though elementary school. UGH Teresa G.
