Do you feel more connected to what Orzolek says as a result of the reading of Brophy you have done? Compare and contrast Brophy to Orzolek. Can you start to sense any 'philosophical bias' in either perspective?
======================================================================
Orzolek definitely has it correct when he says that educators, administrators and politicians have a huge role in spending money on the problem (whether assessment is possible) than the actual solution. Brophy promotes assessment by showing that each child seems to fit into a gap somewhere on the rubric. Orzolek disclaims this theory by figuring that no child is worth fitting into a gap. It's much more worth the effort to be creative in structure than abiding by a state law that frankly has no position to be in a classroom. A Philosophical bias is an understatement. I feel like I could attempt a paper of philosophical perspective on just the Orzolek article alone and make it sound more interesting than Brophy's book.
