	Anniversary offers chance to dispel Butler myths \| News crumb \| EducationGuardian.co.uk
		The 1944 act was to have a powerful influence for decades on schools in England and Wales and is still the yardstick by which major government education measures are judged - but many of the commonly known "facts" about it are wrong, according historian David Crook, of the University of London's Institute of Education.
		Butler's act introduced secondary education for all at age 11 - previously children attended elementary school until 14 and only went onto secondary school if their parents could pay (or in very rare cases win a scholarship).
		The 1944 act raised the school leaving age to 15 (achieved in 1947) and aimed to raise it 16 as soon as possible, although it was nearly 30 years before this happened.

		The Butler Act was a 1925 law in the State of Tennessee that banned anyone from teaching evolution in a state-funded university, public school, or teacher training college.
		Butler was a fan of fundamentalist congressional representative William Jennings Bryan, and his admiration for Bryan’s work contributed to Butler’s decision in 1922 to run as a Democrat for the State legislature.
		AN ACT prohibiting the teaching of the Evolution Theory in all the Universities, Normals [teacher training colleges] and all other public schools of Tennessee, which are supported in whole or in part by the public school funds of the State, and to provide penalties for the violations thereof.

	Josephine Butler
		Butler's acceptance of the women to whom she spoke and her physical manifestations of sympathy, including hugging and holding women who were neither clean nor healthy, won her their confidence.
		Butler began to research the lives of prostitutes, debunking prevalent prejudices that prostitutes were sexual predators and revealing the grinding and ineradicable economic pressures behind their trade.
		Butler's campaign was actually one of the first feminists to cross the class line in her reforms, and one of the first to claim that sex is an overriding condition uniting women in their sympathies and responsibilities, despite all other differences.

	The Folly of an Education Spending Race
		Federal spending on education is fast becoming a reverse political "third rail." Rather than being an issue that politicians cannot touch--as Social Security was until recently--education spending is the issue that every politician feels compelled to embrace.
		The story of education reform is much like the story of welfare reform: The government bodies and other institutions closest to the people have taken the initiative in deciding how to improve education.
		With the upcoming re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and Goals 2000, Members should consider allowing all interested states the maximum flexibility to administer most federal funds (in ESEA and other federal programs) on the programs that are best suited to their needs.

	FUNDING FOR ASSISTIVE
		Special education is defined as "specially designed instruction, at no cost to the parent, to meet the unique needs of a student with disabilities with the necessary supplementary aids and related services needed for the student to benefit from his/her educational program in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)".
		The legal presumption favors education for students with disabilities in regular schools with supplemental aids and services, and removal only when the cost is so great that doing so is not practicable.
		While the terms "assistive technology devices and services" were not specifically used in the original act, they clearly would be a functional part of the services defined (e.g., a communication device to implement a goal as part of speech pathology services) and other developmental, corrective or supportive services.

		Some determined women there are who have devoted to self-culture as much of their pittance as could be spared from the barest needs of life, and of whom it is known that, night after night when they went to bed, they have tied a band around their waist to keep down the gnawings of hunger.
		For this question of woman's education is far from being one of intellectual progress merely; it is a question of deep moral import, and enters far into the heart of society, affecting the best interests of men as well as those of women.
		Acts of violence on the part of a long oppressed nation are not the offspring of dawning liberties, but of a doomed tyranny.

		The fall in educational attainment in British schools, for which anecdotal evidence was overwhelming, was hidden by the reformulation of "standards" and highly prejudiced reports.
		Butler's measures did not set out to "mend" it (because it wasn't "broken"), but did intend to improve it.
		But he would have been the first to stress the unwisdom of wantonly destroying any institution that can demonstrate the value of its contributions, especially when the destruction is irreversible and the supposed benefits of that destruction remain unspecified by its advocates.

		It recommended a massive expansion in Britain's higher education; partly to open up universities to the expanding grammar school generation to which I myself belonged, and partly to produce more graduates in the sciences who would help deliver the modernizing agenda that the Labour leader Harold Wilson was then so strongly committed to.
		All that we can be sure about is that, thanks to the education we were able to obtain, we are a more varied and diverse generation, in terms of our social background, than any generation that has been in charge of things in Britain before.
		Today, secondary education in Britain is an uneasy and incoherent amalgam of the old tripartite system and the comprehensive system, while independent, fee-paying schools flourish as never before.

		But the Education Secretary is understood to have the backing of Gordon Brown - the runaway favourite to become the next Prime Minister - for the first raising of the age at which children leave education since 1972.
		He said an extension to 18 would be the logical conclusion of reforms begun in Rab Butler's Education Act of 1944, which brought the age up to 15.
		Children who leave school before 16 are currently classed as truants, unless their parents come to an arrangement with their local education authority that they should be educated at home.

		A study of the Amigos program, a two-way bilingual education program in Cambridge, Massachusetts (Lambert and Cazabon, 1994), and a national review of two-way bilingual programs (Mahrer and Christian, 1993) found that English-language learners (ELL) in these programs outperformed ELL students who were enrolled in structured immersion programs.
		Critics of bilingual education argue that: "The best way to tell a good bilingual education program from a bad one is to measure the amount of time in the school day a child spends being taught in English.
		First, bilingual education comes in many forms and the development of program models depends upon the timing of the transition to English and, how much instruction should take place in each language.

		Simplicius stresses the importance of a universal, "scientific" understanding of the Gods which, by abstracting from the particularity of one's position and achieving the viewpoint of Aristotelian epistêmê, which is always of the universal, purges the action of making offerings from misconceptions that would dispose the worshiper unethically in relation to the Gods.
		The essential particularity of the domain of the ethical in Aristotle's thought is, however, also embodied in the act of making the offering, in which a particular human offers a particular item to a particular deity.
		A merely "scientific" or universalizing viewpoint on the Gods is not sufficient: the practical dimension which involves the actual cult of particular deities is its necessary complement.
