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. |

Wow: Is this an indication of educators finally finding the courage to respond with conviction to the diluted requirements imposed on students? Educators from the whole nation ought to rise up and support McGreal. Each state teacher and administrator union ought to pay part of a salary until he gets a new position. We must rise up in one force and push it over the edge. All of those bureaucrats/officers in our unions ought to take a stand, now. Joe Bo -------Original Message------- From: Monty Neill Date: 09/05/06 17:52:33 To: ARN-L Subject: [arn-l] another Chicago hero It appears we have another Chicago hero. According to the Sept 6 Ed Week (which arrived at my office today), Interim Principal Martin McGreal of Gage Park HS refused to enroll at least 250 more students, as CPS ordered, because doing so would lead to classrooms of more than 40 students. "At some point, you have to say no to what this system is doing to kids," he said. The system also "does" to educators: it fired McGreal from his job, which paid $113,820 per year. Monty Neill, Ed.D.
