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 remember that a few years ago a number of people were pushing the 65% rule - that 65% of all funds for school be spent on classroom instruction. As I remember vaguely (at 63 in the midst of teaching school, my mind is not as good at recalling somethings unrelated to my own teaching) there were a number of cogent arguments presented against that 65% rule. The issue has come up again in Virginia, with one of the candidates for Governor taking that approach. I need to be able to respond to inquiries about the strengths and weaknesses of such an approach, and would greatly appreciate any guidance /links/etc. people can offer me. This is a time-sensitive issue for me, and I will be eternally grateful for any responses. Some of you may receive this more than once, since it is going out on several lists. Thanks in advance for any help. Ken Bernstein aka teacherken Kenneth J. Bernstein
