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. |
[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] Can / should schools erase the race gap?
1. Can government schools / government policy erase the race gap, and if so, how and when? (NCLB says it must happen by 2014! Does ANYBODY believe the NCLB solution beside GW Bush?) 2. Should goverment schools make this a goal even if it is not realistic? 3. Are all race gaps "caused" by the school system? The white/ black gap? The white /Asian / Jewish gap? The rich / poor gap? The native born / immigrant gap? The college parent / drop out parent gap? 4. Should governments seek to erase all social / economic / education gaps between all genders / races / ages / ethnic / reglious / whatever and if so, which form of government is best, and which have failed most miserably? Isn't the central goal of education reform to erase all gaps? Should it be?
