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'm happy to be in the terminally deluded and hopelessly naive camp of knuckleheads. Boy, that er, "increased" funding for schools sure came with strings attached didn't it? More like a hangman's rope. Marion has asked exactly the right questions in his excellent letter. Here's to hoping it gets circulated all over the country. Let's do it.

Only the hoplelessly naive or the terminally deluded could find "catastrophic consequences" in increasing funding for schools and requiring states to improve them.
