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. |

I switched to 7th gr. last year after several years loving 8th. I love it and chose to stay now in gr. 7 even though I had the chance to go back to gr. 8. At the beginning of the year, I found the kids to be very immature -- this took some getting used to. however, it was worth it! I love how they are less jaded and I could have a bigger impact on the 7th graders -- their immaturity varied in a bigger sense than it had in gr. 8.

I would like to hear of any similar experiences, advice regarding behavior management, helpful tips regarding the workload and curriculum, ideas fro general introductory lessons/ ice breakers, etc. I feel like this is a different animal altogether, and while I am super excited, I would just like to know what I may expect given the change. I look forward to hearing from you. You may respond to my personal email: karen_a99@hotmail.com . Thank you!!
