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. |

Dear concerned parent, Here are some ideas: I suggest using the PTA's, both at your child's school and at the state level. Also, try to write a letter to the editor of a local paper, call a meeting at a local library, ask candidates about their position on the MCAS, make a flyer and post it all over the place re an upcoming meeting, get some high school students involved, bring it up anywhere you can. good luck!

I also have the double whammy of working on my masters in elem ed as well although my first and foremost concern is for my child. so, are there any other local parents out there?
