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. |

Susie, Thanks for the link. My first reaction is: will someone please tell the writer that movie titles need to be italicized??? (Sorry--can't help it.) I didn't see the film, but I can appreciate some of the points brought up. I agree that teachers get unfairly blasted (at least in my state), and it doesn't help that the media are trotting out on a weekly basis, it seems, some new example of a teacher-done-wrong. I've always said there should be a reality show which follows an elem, middle, and HS teacher, so the public could *really* get a glimpse of our day-to-day realities rather than cling to the misconception that we are living some kind of life of luxury with summers off and the workday ending at three.
