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. |

Amen! I have a daughter who is a "new teacher" and I have several "new teachers" and prospective teachers on my list. Teaching colleges and their students are some of our best allies. Just as many "old teachers" are hoodwinked or scared into compliance as new teachers, in many instances. The same goes for parents. Apathy and ignorance are equal opportunity plagues. Activism and discernment are equal opportunity solutions.
