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 also would like response to this. In addition, we wondered if there have been research pieces about the harm done through testing, especially to students of color. JOur district is directing our fourth grade students to take both the Washington Assessment on Student Learning and the ITBS (Its B.S.), the latter to establish a so-called baseline for future testing decisions. It's abusive, but they won't listen to common sense. Is there statistical or research based e3vidence that we can use to stop the madness?

Everyone at my school is complaining about the surmounting pressure on California's teachers to produce higher test scores. What has been done so far to resist this? > > Betsy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the ARN-L list, send command SIGNOFF ARN-L to LISTSERV@LISTS.CUA.EDU.
