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. |

Thanks to those who responded, esp. Erwin Morton, I was able to find the quote which was "Kids are not tested on whale watching, so they're not going whale watching." It was uttered by then-Ravenswood, CA supt. Charlie Mae Knight and sent to ARN from Peter Faruggio. It's was originally in the SF Examiner, March 20, 2000. The URL appears to be defunct. I got it from the ARN archives just by inserting whale-watching and "ravenswood school district" into Google.

I'd like to use this, but can't remember where it's from and my initial googlings didn't find it. Anyone remember? Jerry
