Orwellian Standardized Tests Infiltrating Schools

Legal threats are the mechanism used now to control students and teachers in the nation’s schools. The government has made talking about these mandatory tests a crime, as well as a host of other offenses…

Lifting the Veil of Silence on Standardized Testing

There is a veil of secrecy over these tests and the way they are administered. And it’s no accident. The testing companies don’t want all of this to become public knowledge. They don’t want the quality or inferiority of the actual exams to be known.

And our state and federal governments are protecting them. From whom? Our teachers, parents, and students.

The Place Beyond the Pines (2013)

Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling cross paths in an edgy drama that brings much intensity.  The film is a decent effort about cops and robbers and the blurry lines separating the two.

What works in Pines is the semi-unique structure, telling three stories, although each is obliquely tied to the others.  It’s a three in one rather ambitious effort that feels real, as if this could have happened.  Dialogue is natural and the acting believable as we follow along an unfortunate series of events and ruined lives.

The Place Beyond the Pines is out on DVD this week.
