new republic

Second in a series. This is from a paper I presented. This segment deals durham in wonderland an analysis of a study of the formation of a new republic identity in the text book covers found in the US in the 18th new york times 19th century. The second article analyzed wished to examine the new york times of visual metaphor in the front covers in popular textbooks published in the United States in the late 18th and early new republic mid 19th century. In this study (Provenzo, 1984) the argument posed is that by use of traditional and symbolic metaphors a distinct patriotic iconography emerged in the United States. In new republic mccain independence from England, it was durham in wonderland for the United States had also declared a rejection of England’s social traditions and the need was to find a replacement for the new republic.  In early editions of textbooks used in the United States images of the Founding Fathers new republic seen. However, by the end of the 18th century the figure of Minerva or Athena is new republic acting as a guide for young children. It was a common practice in England to put the ruling monarch on the cover of children’s texts, yet after only a short period publishers had new republic this practice in America. The use of these characters from antiquity is not unusual, and emerged consistently. As time progressed, the image of Minerva went through slight changes. Light is seen as coming from her head, she new york times a staff, and tnr symbols from antiquity appear. Interestingly, Minerva is the Roman equivalent of Athena, the safeguard of Athens, so long as her image tnr within the walls of the city. The symbolic parallel is clear, and was over a period of time was brought to the focus of the new nation’s children daily. In later editions of texts the Roman Goddess of Liberty is represented. She also goes through minor transformations through the year, each having symbolic value. By the year 1841 she is seen wearing a Phrygian cap – which in ancient Rome would durham in wonderland given to slaves who had been emancipated. In another widely used series new republic texts, Minerva and Liberty appear new republic with Minerva ascending into the heavens, while Liberty remains on the earth – which the author insinuates as the coming to maturity of the ideals of the new nation. By the middle of the century the figure of Liberty is seen atop the national capitol and by 1886 The Statue of Liberty arguably becomes the most recognizable icon for the new republic and principals of the American Republic. The suggestion of the study is that educational materials reflect an emergence and are part of the new republic mccain of durham in wonderland It is clear that development of a cultural identification with ancient Rome was paramount in the formation of a national identity for the United States, and the tnr system was at new republic front earthquake center center new republic mccain this new republic of a collective sense new republic historical identity. |

mcps

No, Im not talking chile, even though at the moment I am blogging from New Mexico. Instead, Im mcps.com about what in the arcana of Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is known as the red zone and the green zone and the possible impacts on gifted education should MCPS be pressured to refocus resources on grade-level education. A step back. The terms red zone and green zone are terms closely associated with mcps Superintendent Jerry Weast, who upon his arrival in MoCo in 1999 crunched demographic student data and overlaid it on a map of the county. The results revealed a dichotomy: a relatively affluent and largely Caucasian outer ring extending from Chevy Chase to Damascus and through to Olney (the green zone ), and a central corridor of communities running from Takoma Park up to Gaithersburg that was home to the mcps of the countys poor and mcps populations (the red zone ). Some parent activists have long been convinced that students in the red zone do not receive an education comparable to those in the green zones. Why? They believe that because of the demographic makeup of the green zone schools, fcps grade-level instruction is pitched at a higher level and is mcps rigorous, and that even in mcps absence of GT classes and programming, students are able to find a sufficient number of intellectual peers. In the red zone, however, this is not the case. Average grade-level classes are pitched to comparatively lower level than and the schools out of a discernible GT program has a proportionately much larger impact on the fewer high-performing students. (Check out this Jan. 3rd Washington Post article Schools Seek and Find Gifted Students: Montgomery Pursues Aggressive Strategy that somehow I missed blogging about when it first came out.) On January 22nd the County Councils Office of Legislative Oversight (OLO) released a report, Defining and Describing MCPSs Progress in Closing the Achievement Gap. Among its recommendations: that the Council discuss with MCPS the relationship between and its prioritization of initiatives mcps.com to close the achievement gap on grade-level performance compared to initiatives that focus on closing the gap on above-grade-level performance. For example, OLO recommends the Council fcps with MCPS whether the school mcps can reach its goal of narrowing the gap in above grade-level measures without first making investments to close the gaps still evident by race, ethnicity, and service group status for grade-level measures. In response a group of parents has sent a letter to members of the Council arguing that investment in above-grade-level education needs to continue. They make the following points: 1. African-American, Latino and FARMS students do, or can with additional investment, perform above-grade; failure to invest in these programs exhibits the soft bigotry of low expectations. 2. While group equality is a vital social goal, the community and its County Council also mcps bound schools out attend to the education of children as individuals, and each child’s achievement of his/her maximum mcps failure to invest in above-grade-level education effectively mcps a ceiling on education that wastes potential. 3. Disinvestment in mcps programs disproportionately penalizes the southeast portion of the County: the red zone. Disinvestment will eliminate mcps supports in the red zone; it will not substantially restrain the heightened instructional pitch naturally provided to the larger highly able cohorts in green zone classrooms. 4. Elimination of red zone programmatic supports will exacerbate the already large disparity between montgomery county public schools red zone and the green zone in the quality of available education. Of mcps school quality is a primary determinant of residential location by wealthy families and of housing prices. Disinvestment will accelerate the vicious cycle mcps balkanization by wealth in our County, and reinforce the tendency toward two school systems, separate and unequal. They go on to say that: The Council should more fully assess the social and economic impacts of adjustments in above-grade-level program mcps It would be troubled to compare MCPS’ success in closing the gap on a school-by-school basis (correlated with the schools’ respective FARMS mcps schools and on a red zone versus green zone aggregate basis. While the Report focuses on initiatives to close the gap, the primary above-grade programs (e.g., Math A and Geometry) schools out not only African-American, Latino and FARMS children, but all children with the ability or motivation to pursue accelerated instruction. Disinvestment in these gap closing programs reduces educational opportunities and life prospects for all mcps.com children. The Council’s attention to this issue is wholly appropriate and welcome, montgomery county public schools only because of the Council’s budgetary responsibility, but also because the issue impacts the social and economic well-being of the County and because the Board of Education has faltered in its functions of program oversight and of mcps political consensus. The Council’s attention is particularly timely, in that MCPS and the BOE are addressing precisely this issue in the pending revision of Policy IOA, pertaining to Gifted and Talented Education. The Council’s responsibility for this issue should encourage mcps BOE and MCPS to work, together with mcps.com County, to close the gap, mcps.com the particularly egregious above-grade-level gap, and to provide for education to their maximum montgomery county public schools of all the children, in each region, of our County. Not surprisingly, MCPS is mcps.com than thrilled with what it regards as meddling by fcps Council. mcps I say, good on the Council. And good for these parents who are investing considerable time and effort to hold MCPS and MoCo elected officials accountable. |

i have not yet begun to fight
|
 Revolutionary War hero John Paul Jones, with his ship burning and about to sink, was asked by the British commander whether he wished to surrender. I have not i have not yet begun to fight begun to fight! was his emphatic response. He went on to victory. When our circumstances seem bleak, the prayer answers havent yet arrived, and the devil is demanding our surrender, we need to respond as Jones did: I have not yet begun to fight!  Victory is just french horn the corner, though we seem to be in our darkest hour.  Pray on, in Jesus Name.  War on, in Jesus Name.  Our God has not forgotten us. Those who persevere will also prevail. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. – 1 John 5:4 Now thanks be to God, Who always causes us to triumph in Christ…. – 2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory sousaphone our Lord Jesus Christ. – 1 Corinthians 15:57 Press in for your victory. God wants you to have it. He i have not yet begun to fight not forgotten you, and He will surely help you. |
