...While the comparison of HUPD tactics to racialized policing during Apartheid may be imperfect, the metaphor is apt: students who are routinely subject to identification checks regard their treatment on the Quad lawn as a harsh reminder that, by some, they are not viewed as being part of this community. In fact, in the wake of the incident many black alumni have cited similar trends of excessive scrutiny from HUPD, resident tutors, and their peers. Even faculty members have been subject to similar treatment because of their race. The two aforementioned editorials completely disregarded—and therefore trivialized?...
...focus exclusively on Iraq, as called for by the U.S., or whether they might also include other points of contention. "Talking with the U.S. over issues related to Iran is not an impossible matter," Iran's state news agency, IRNA, quoted him as saying. "However, this depends on the subject matter...
...wonder so many states have watered down their expectations. An analysis by researchers at the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit, found that the quality of educational standards--which are detailed, grade-by-grade, subject-by-subject learning goals--declined in 30 states from 2000 to 2006. That includes the four states--Delaware, Kansas, North Carolina and Oklahoma--said to be on track for 2014. Overall, only three states earned an A from Fordham on curriculum standards--which are also the basis for state tests; 37 rated C-- or below...
...social studies is often much steeper in schools struggling to end a record of failure. At Arizona Desert Elementary in San Luis, Ariz., students spend three hours of their 6 1/2-hr. day on literacy and 90 min. on arithmetic. Science is no longer taught as a stand-alone subject. "We had to find ways to embed it within the content of reading, writing and math," says principal Rafael Sanchez, with some regret. Social studies is handled the same way. The payoff for this laser-like attention to reading and math: the school went from failing in 2004 to making...
...seems like a win-win situation—students who want satellite television could get it and students who do not want it will not have to pay. And yet the administration’s support of the proposal remains tepid. The College says it may support the plan subject to approval by individual House Masters. Such arrangement, however, would be unfair. Because housing is randomized, every effort should be made to provide equal amenities rather than leaving things like television access—which could easily be equal across the College—to the whims of each individual...
