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. |

Well, Art You can complain to the principal. You can complain to the central office. You can complain to the Board. You can organize other parents. You can complain to the school or district accountability committee. You can complain to the newspaper. And, in many districts, you have at least a possibility of a within district transfer to another school. In my experience working with districts--have you ever?--these levels of complaints have an impact. In the private sector, you can take your business elsewhere only if there's another business which gives you some reason to think it's better. And if it's not better, you're probably shit out of luck. JB
