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. |

What do we know about this? Ill call tomorrow. Susan Begin forwarded message: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cristina Mitra <cristina@youthnoise.org> Date: Mar 10, 2008 7:48 PM Subject: [edliberation] Right To Learn: youth-led education reform in CA To: network@edliberation.org The Right To Learn campaign is a California youth-led movement of students fighting for their right for a better education. California's schools are already some of the worst in the country– 45 States get more money per student. Now, politicians in Sacramento want to cut $5 billion from the education budget next year. That's the same as firing 107,000 teachers or throwing another 12 kids into a science class. On Friday, April 18, more than 10,000 California students will rally together as part of the Right To Learn Day of Action. Using the RightToLearnCA.org website, students will organize individual actions at their schools. Participation can take many forms. It can be as large scale as a school-wide rally or as simple as gathering their peers to write letter to their representatives during lunchtime. It is up to each individual school to decide how they want to make their voices heard. Parents, teachers, school board members, school employees and administrators are already taking a stand against these budget cuts, but no one has yet to involve the students. This is the chance for students to speak up, be heard, and make a difference for themselves, their friends, and youth throughout California. We deserve better. Protect your Right To Learn. Join Right To Learn today at www.RightToLearnCA.org to participate in the April 18 Day of Action!
