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. |

Maybe some underpopulated school will take the kids that McGreal turned away? What a tremendous relief to parents and kids that must be, that maybe some school will take them. The American Dream all right. I'm sure that if you would only move to Chicago, the Hays-Schmidt-McGreal team would solve all their problems right quick.

The affected children are not "someone else's problem" ... they are the problem of a school district that set upon a course providing special treatment for SOME kids while denying similar treatment for the rest. The "problem" is also easily resolved ... it doesn't take a rocket scientist or an idealogue (right or left wing) to recognize and admit that maybe some of those undercrowded schools can let in the overflow!
