Title: Fairfax Schools to Defy NCLB ESL Testing Requirement
Body: From http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/05/AR2007020501359.html . Supervisors Step Up In 'No Child' Fight Immigrant Testing Rule Called Unfair By Bill Turque Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, February 6, 2007 The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors sided with school officials yesterday in a showdown with the Bush administration over the federal No Child Left Behind law, accusing the U.S. Department of Education of having a "tin ear" in its policy toward testing immigrant students. Supervisors voted 8 to 1 to endorse the School Board's decision last month to defy a Bush administration directive to give certain students still learning English reading exams that cover the same grade-level material as those taken by their peers who are native speakers. Instead, the school system will continue to use tests it says are better tailored to those learning English as a second language. The dispute turned political and a bit personal at the supervisors' meeting yesterday. Board Chairman Gerald E. Connolly (D) took exception to a letter from Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, published in Sunday's Washington Post, accusing Fairfax and other Virginia school systems of dragging their feet in meeting what she called the "Standards Clause" of the law, requiring children with limited English to meet the same standards as other students. "I speak not just as a policy wonk but as a mom whose daughter attended a Fairfax County school," Spellings wrote. "It's time to remember that yes, Virginia, there is a Standards Clause."

Title: Pledge of Allegiance in English
Body: From http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/news/16619110.htm FLAG OATH SAID IN SPANISH LAST WEEK Gorman: Recite pledge in English New guideline meant for graduations, CMS events, not classrooms MARK PRICE After days of public debate over the appropriateness of a Charlotte-Mecklenburg student saying the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish, Superintendent Peter Gorman has decided it will be recited only in English at graduations and other districtwide events. "I'm not telling individual classrooms, dual-language programs and foreign language schools that they can't use certain tools for instruction," Gorman said. Instead, the guideline -- which does not need school board approval -- will apply to events such as graduations, board meetings, student achievement celebrations and teacher award programs. The controversy began Monday at the CMS midyear graduation. Nineteen-year-old Jose Velasquez, an immigrant from El Salvador who was graduating from Garinger High, agreed to a school staff request that he recite the pledge in English and Spanish.

Title: Article: A New Interest in the Classics`
Body: From http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1582332-1,00.html Virgil Goes Viral By MICHAEL ELLIOTT Thursday, Jan. 25, 2007 The culture has lately offered up for mass consumption two new histories of the Peloponnesian War, a whacking great biography of Julius Caesar, a film on Alexander the Great (plus a book lauding his business strategy), the current bbc-hbo series on Rome, Robert Harris' recent novel Imperium and a book (with a film to come this year) on the battle of Thermopylae. In this enthusiasm, the usual biases seem to be absent. Conservatives sup at the classic cup; Victor Davis Hanson, a scholar of ancient warfare, is Dick Cheney's favorite historian. And liberals seek succor from the ancient texts too; it is easy to read Harris' novel on political intrigue in Ciceronian Rome as a critique of the idea that external threats justify politicians taking extraordinary power. But why this sudden thing for the toga-and-sandals set? Quid donat? Read the entire article at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1582332-1,00.html .
