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. |

J.... What's wrong with asking for volunteers to give parents a "heads-up" that their kids are in danger of not graduating and telling them where help is available? Seems like a personal touch.

Your comparison between calling because a kid is sick and calling to report on a kid's failure of the graduation test wasn't valid. The fact that they (feel they) have to bring in the volunteer troops to handle a 50% failure rate on a test that is a graduation requirement is also invalid and just plain weird! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the ARN-L list, send command SIGNOFF ARN-L to LISTSERV@LISTS.CUA.EDU. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the ARN-L list, send command SIGNOFF ARN-L to LISTSERV@LISTS.CUA.EDU.
