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. |

NCLB says schools should bring all children to proficiency and that the greatest help should go to schools that are making the least progress. Monty/FEA says "..wiithin five years all Title I schools should reach the rate of improvement now reached by the Title I school now at the 65th percentile when ranked by rate of improvement."? Huh? Organizations that sign on to nonsense such as this should be ashamed.
