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 think that parents should be able to view testing materials used by their children. This does, however, create a logistical headache for the schools, which have to ferret out the materials and then arrange for the parent to examine them, all the while maintaining the privacy of other students and the security of the materials. Art >>> gpipkin@I-1.NET 09/06 9:55 AM >>> The attorney for the Pinellas County [St. Petersburg] school board has issued a memo asserting a parent's right to view her son's FCAT answer sheet and test booklet. I've posted the memo in our FCAR Forum files section (URL below). It's PDF and takes a while to load. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FCARFORUM/files/ The memo relies on The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) as well as Florida law to establish the right to access. In a St. Petersburg Times article today, DOE spokeswoman Joann Carrin says that previous requests have been denied but "we have to look at this request and then decide what our response will be."
