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. |

Data from the web site of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. 30 districts enroll 10,000 or more kids. Calculations from me. Art >>> gbracey@EROLS.COM 09/20 1:49 PM >>> Where did these correlations come from? The correlation for 2000 is about the same as in other states. Usually, though, the correlation decreases with time. How many districts are there in WA with more than 10,000 kids? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Art Burke" <aburke@VANSD.ORG> To: <ARN-L@LISTS.CUA.EDU> Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 5:26 PM Subject: WASL Fact/Thought of the Day WASL Fact-of-the-Day Correlation between percent of children eligible for subsidized lunch and percent of children meeting the grade 4 standard in reading for Washington districts enrolling 10, 000 students and up: 2000: -0.79 2001: -0.81 WASL Thought-of-the-Day If this trend continues, in ten years the correlation between district poverty level and reading achievement will be unity and we will be able to dispense with one or the other measures. Now, which one should we dispense with?
