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. |

Public education is a function of the states. States = State Depts of Ed = Districts. Art In a message dated 5/11/2006 4:27:35 AM Pacific Standard Time, campbellp@mail.montclair.edu writes: When a school reaches the end of the line, its district has five choices: 1. Hire an outside organization to run the school. 2. Reopen the school as a charter school, with new leadership and less regulation. 3. Replace most or all of the school staff with any ties to the school's failure. 4. Turn operation of the school over to the state, if the state agrees. 5. Choose any other major restructuring that will fundamentally reform the school. I'm not clear on who is actually authorized by the law to make these kinds of decisions. State departments of ed? School districts?
