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. |

I have been having a debate with folks serving on the ESEA/NCLB Task Force about whether or not NCLB is closing the achievement gap. They somehow believe that it is, and when I have asked for their evidence, they can only produce the NAEP report, which I know has been debunked by many. This is a quote from one of them, and it really drives me nuts: > Like most educational debates, one can find, interpret, and accept studies > and reports to support all sides of the argument. Is this TRUE? Or at some point, is there some way to reach consensus on what is the Truth? How do you all deal with this type of response to debate? Thank you, Diane
