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. |

Hi! My daughter is attending an alternative modified free public school that specializes in experiential learning. When this school was chartered 30 years ago, part of the agreement (in writing) was that committees within the school would be responsible for choosing the type of assessment, etc. A number of years ago, prior to our arrival as a family, the district forced the school to start having the students take the standardized tests. Now the district is mandating that report cards be issued. This is clearly a slippery slope we are headed down. Any words of wisdom to share with me?
