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] an op ed by an electronic acquaintance
the link below is for an op ed that appeared in The Minnesota Daily, campus newspaper of the University of Minnesota. The author, Peter Henry, is someone I know electronically from our joint participation in www.dailykos.com, a widely read political blog where I most often write about education. [he blogs there as Mi Corazon, I blog there and elsewhere as teacherken] Peter is also the author of a relatively new book entitled "Becoming Mr. Henry" in which he uses his own life an experience as the basis for also offering analysis and commentary on education today -- I found the book well worth the read. Anyhow, I think many on this list will find things in this opinion piece about which to ponder, although I also expect that there will be some contrary opinions to what Peter has written. http://www.mndaily.com/articles/2006/03/08/67498 Kenneth J.
