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. |

You know, George, to help us along with you... ...I'd be much more comfortable with a thread discussion that could make a difference and then *move on* to your concern. Rather than your SBER and LD (your: impact of standards-based educational reform on learning disabled students), I'd prefer a more foundational discussion of *evaluation and/or assessment based educational reform* (EBER/ABER). After a good airing of views there, we might better *move on to EBER/ABER and LD. Doesn't your SBER and LD perspective beg the dilemma you intend to discuss? How to *move on*, then??? ;-} rap.
