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. |

In a message dated 3/6/2004 11:56:05 AM Central Standard Time, patterna@gvsu.edu writes: If the name of the language arts courses was changed to "english" then I would be qualified to teach those courses. But if they are called "language arts", I'm not qualified. There is no secondary language arts certification anymore. And, there is no elementary English certification. So, if the courses were renamed "english," no one with elementary language arts certification could teach those courses. Nancy, the unqualified Dear Nancy: As soon as you become formally even more unqualified, I hope that you will consider volunteering as a visiting instructor of English and literacy at the World of Opportunity (WOO) here in Birmingham. We are working with a classroom full of students who are vibrant with a lack of interest, and would love to benefit from your knowledge, experience and unqualified'ness. Thanks for all you do. Warmest peacebuilding greetings, Steve Orel
