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. |

This reminds me of the 2nd grade teacher my two oldest kids had, who claimed the everynight homework should only take 15-20 minutes. It worked out to about that for my daughter. But obviously the teacher had never had a 7-year-old of her own-- yet-- trying to get 10 spelling sentences out of him every Tuesday evening or rushing around every Wednesday to get that math worksheet completed before church. And she didn't have infant twins at home either. How often does Dr. Bergeson teach 7th grade math or language arts? I mean now, not 20 years ago. Oh, that's right, she set up a parental involvement program in Salishan once. Juanita
