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. |

Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie was a wonderful book. I picked it up at the conference in Pittsburgh. I began to read it as I waited for my plane. By the time I got on the plane after transferring in Philadelphia I was near the end. Although I read a lot, it is quite rare that I have found a book that could engross me after a long conference as much as this one has. I eagerly look forward to reading his new one this summer. (Clueless about the title but the review I read is excellent).

I realize that some of your are still finishing up the school year. Instead of bothering you "for nothing", I'll also throw in that I've read Rules by Cynthia Lord and Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie (written by one of Frank McCourt's former students in NYC), and both are excellent. Good luck to those of you still in school; I hope the rest of you are enjoying the summer!
