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. |

There is? one teacher, per subject at each grade level in our? 6th-8th middle school. The administration has been? throwing around the idea of looping at grades 7 and 8? only, and most likely for just ELA and one other? subject. Just wondering if anyone out there has any? experience with looping? What do you see as positives? and negatives? What grade levels do you loop with?? What subjects loop? What do the kids think of looping?? Do you switch classrooms every other year when you? loop? Do you use the other teacher's materials when? you switch to a new grade level and loop? Why did? your district decide to loop? Any feedback (positive? or negative) would be greatly appreciated.
