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. |

http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070122/SCHOOLS/701220385 The Michigan MEAP may remain the most bizarre of the state tests. It was long administered by the state Treasury Department, and is, I think, still overseen by Standard and Poors personnel. The test was written by people utterly unqualified to write on matters of substance, especially the social studies exam, but the rest as well. There are MEAP demonstrations in schools, and "special MEAP" food that kids are urged to eat. And, as almost always, it measures class, race, and subservience. Low key boycotts of the MEAP continue, mostly in the richest and poorest ares of the state. You are welcome to join us at the Their Wars Left Behind conference March 1 to 4 in Detroit. It is a national conference on how to be anti-war and pro-learning. http://www.pipeline.com/~rgibson/rouge_forum/ best r
