Extractions: AN INTERVIEW WITH JONATHAN KOZOL A SIMPLE MATTER OF HUMANITY In a far-ranging conversation with Mr. Hayes, the author of Savage Inequalities takes on the proponents of choice, shares his frustrations over some of the current trends in education, and speaks eloquently about our neglect of the poor. by Larry Hayes The compelling title of Jonathan Kozol's best-selling book, Savage Inequalities, instantly became a byword in the discourse of social reform. Kozol's chilling yet compassionate account of the gap between rich and poor schools is only his latest critique of American society and how it treats its children. In a far-ranging conversation with me, Kozol takes on the proponents of choice, shares his frustrations over some of the current trends in education, and speaks eloquently, as ever, about our neglect of the poor. Hayes : In Savage Inequalities you make it clear that you don't think giving poor people "choice" will ensure that their children have good schools. Kozol : There are a lot of promises being made by the conservatives who believe in choice. Among the promises they make are: (1) that everybody will have an equal choice, (2) that information will be so well disseminated that even the least educated parents will have access to all the data that they need, and (3) that choice will not in any way conduce to resegregation or deeper segregation of our schools. Virtually all these promises prove to be illusory. Let me just run down them for a minute. As for the idea of equal choice, Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander says, "Well, the rich have always had choicethey could always opt for private schoolsand why shouldn't the poor also have that choice?" This is profoundly deceptive. Alexander is not proposing that poor kids on the South Side of Chicago be given a $16,000 voucher to go to Andover. Essentially, what's being proposed is a dual menu of choices. The kids who go to school in Great Neck, Long Island, a district that spends almost $16,000 per pupil, will discover that a voucher equal to what their public education costs will pay for them to go to Andover or Exeter if they wish. But the kids in the inner citythe kids in Camden, New Jerseywould get only a $4,000 voucher.

Husock says that he would like to speak for those who are "vilified as yuppies." Husock says that he attended a meeting of nursery school parents in West Roxbury last year; that the parents were trying to plot a "strategy" about where to send their children to school; that the parents were looking at the racial quotas at each school; that some parents were considering paying tuition to send their children to public schools in Brookline. Husock says that the parents were only thinking about how to get a good education for their children. Husock asks if the school choice plan can be adapted in order to attract the influx of new middle class families to Boston. Husock says that it would be sad if a "new generation" of residents abandons the schools. Nolan says that the question will be put on hold until Dr. Laval Wilson (Superintendent, Boston Public Schools) can speak.

However, the implementation schedule resulted in a cohort of susceptible children in grades 3-6 and 8. Beginning in 1998, BPHC public health nurses (PHNs) from Communicable Disease Control and the School Health Program Private/Parochial Schools collaborated to implement a catch-up school-based HBV program for students in grades 3-8 in 36 parochial schools. School Health PHNs educated principals, faculty, parents, and students about benefits of HBV. Because three doses of the vaccine needed to be administered at each school within a seven month period, scheduling and staffing were major planning challenges. During the implementation phase, PHNs arranged for transport of all needed supplies, created appropriate work areas, managed anxiety levels of students, staff and parents, and handled medical emergencies. Over 1,500 children and staff were vaccinated, with a series completion rate greater than 90%.

Extractions: G. Wayne Miller - 1954 Pascoag By Susan Huetteman I. Background When he isn't keeping the squirrels out of his birdfeeder or driving his old Volvo up the Atlantic coast, G. Wayne Miller divides his time between the Providence Journal and his study in Pascoag, Rhode Island. The affable Miller combines investigative journalism with the easy-read of a novelist, making us insiders in the inaccessible realms of corporate restructuring in Toy Wars , the fast paced medical surgical unit in The King of Hearts and The Work of Human Hands, and the cleverly oblique young relationships in Coming of Age. Named for his grandfather, George, he was born in Melrose, Massachusetts to middle class parents of colonial and Irish Catholic descent. He grew up in a bedroom community of Boston, was educated in parochial and Catholic prep schools, and thought he wanted to play hockey for the Boston Bruins. In an interview published in the Providence Journal , Miller said, "I was also interested in writing...Reading was very important in my family."1 As a child he wrote "little snippets," but in ninth grade his teacher got him past "I like writing" to "I really like writing." Yet, he was interested in medicine and entered Harvard thinking he would become a neurosurgeon. It lasted one week. Selected for a creative writing course, he knew he wouldn't be a doctor, turning instead to the exuberant college exploration of philosophies and unabashedly liberal politics.
HB 1220 - AHEM Strengthening the grassroots presence of homeschoolers in massachusetts Any private or parochial school or the parents or guardians of any student http://www.ahem.info/HB1220.htm
Extractions: On May 5th, 2005 a public hearing to afford citizens, legislators and lobbyists the opportunity to express their views, was held on House Bill 1220, which would allow homeschoolers to take the MCAS at state expense, and require schools to award diplomas to homeschoolers who pass MCAS and request a diploma. The researcher for the Education Committee told us a woman and her daughter were the only two people to testify at the public hearing. The bill was also mentioned by a few other people as they spoke in support or opposition to other bills that day. Researchers are now going through the written testimony that has been submitted and sorting that out to be included in the official record. http://www.mass.gov/legis/lawmkng.htm

Extractions: Article - School Vouchers: Voters Say No by Albert Menendez and Edd Doerr Regardless of how the U.S. Supreme Court rules in the Cleveland school voucher case this year, the voucher issue will continue to play a role in the political process. Just about every state legislature and Congress could see battles over proposals to drain the public treasury to support nonpublic schools under the guise of parental choice. And hard-pressed public schools will be caught in the crossfire as they try to maintain adequate levels of funding to educate 90% of this countrys children. IN THE 2000 ELECTIONS voters in two large and important states, California and Michigan, overwhelmingly rejected voucher schemes in statewide referenda. These voters handed advocates of public aid to private and parochial schools their 23rd and 24th defeats in 25 elections held in 14 states since 1966.
Canards But this was a massachusetts affair, and New York, Pennsylvania, The slownessof the South to adopt free public schools after the war can be laid in http://www.etymonline.com/cw/canards.htm
Extractions: YANKEE CANARDS One of the oft-heard put-downs of the Old South was its lack of education, by which is usually meant free public education, which was well-established in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states by 1860 but had barely dented the South. Thus, it is said that the South was uneducated. Yet literacy among white Southerners before the war was more than 80 percent, slightly below that of Northerners but better than the rate in Britain or any European country except Sweden and Denmark. But this was a Massachusetts affair, and New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey tended to let parochial schools and private classical academies handle whatever education was wanted, while the Southern colonies relied on apprenticeships and pauper schools. Writers on early education in America tend to break it down into three regional solutions, not a straight North-South split. In the early 19th century, Massachusetts educators began the push to make free schools an American institution. The battle over tax-supported, publicly controlled, non-sectarian schools was waged between 1825 and 1850, and it was second only to the slavery debate in intensity and bitterness. The public school advocates waged their fight state by state, and they had a bitter battle in every one of them, usually settling for local option compromises (as in New York 1849-50; Pennsylvania 1834). Public schools were not truly free to all and "universal" until 1867 in New York, 1871 in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Michigan, and New Jersey; and 1873 in Pennsylvania.

CYD: School Vouchers The second group contends that any parochial schools receiving government It is unconstitutional to give government funds to parochial schools; in fact, http://www.cydjournal.org/2001Summer/lutzy_0613.html
Extractions: This article focuses on some issues associated with school vouchers that arose during a debate between the presidents of the Board of Education in New York and Boston entitled "School Vouchers: Increased Family Choice or Weakened Public Education?" The debate was part of the Zinner Lecture Series at the Heller Graduate School, Brandeis University, on October 19, 2000. Throughout time, school reform has tried to address inequalities that exist within the American school system. Reform movements have included law-driven equality movements, gender equity rights, education for children with special needs, and other ways to confront the issue of inequality in social class. At the end of the 20th century, education evolved as the primary domestic policy priority for both politicians and the public in the United States. Current reform measures attempt to address the need for quality and equality in American schools. The newest reforms have rallied around the idea of "choice," with the belief that it will generate competition, parental involvement, and more equality within the school systems of this country.
