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 for all your help in getting some information for me on 2 pressing matters. You proved to be a very valuable resource. I hope I can contribute when the opportunity arises. Someone recently posted a pro-testing article that was written by a high school social studies teacher and coach. I can't find it. I must have deleted it and I wanted to respond to it. Will someone post it again for me?
