May Final.Pub AOSR News May—June 2004 WWW.AOSR.ORG “Don’t Know Much about History… Don’t Know Much about Science Books….” By Dr. Larry Dougherty, Headmaster When I was growing up there was a popular rock and roll song with these lyrics, and many more about what we did not know, mostly because the singers were in love. Recent articles have alleged that there is a “growing historical ignorance” among teenagers. According to Professor Sam Wineburg of Stanford University in a recent article in the Journal of American History, American students have been performing poorly on history tests since the first record of a standardized history test in 1917. According to his research, students scored equally poorly in 1943, 1976, 1987 and 1994. “A sober look at a century of history testing provides no evidence for the ‘gradual disintegration of cultural memory’ or a growing historical ignorance,” he stated in his article entitled “Crazy for History.” Wineburg demonstrates that the type of multiple choice standardized tests that have been used to measure student knowledge is the source of this low level of achievement. By their very nature, these examinations are de- signed to create a bell curve. Automatically half of the students will be above the mean and half below. The mean (Continued on page 3) Turn Off TV! Turn On a Healthier Lifestyle By Dr. Beth Pfannl, Principal Every year the third week of April is National TV Turnoff Week in the United States. This initiative, dedi- cated to raising awareness about the impact that television has on children and adults, celebrated its 10th anniversary last month. It may be appropriate to put some of their well-researched advice into practice here in Italy! Why not take a seven-day break from TV? Reclaim time to talk, play, read, exercise, create, dream -- and live in this wonderful place and time! Turning off the TV, even if it is only for one week, is not only a great way to im- prove your health and quality of life: it also makes you realize how much time you actually spend sitting in front of the television set, Nintendo, Play Station, X-Box, etc. Does that sound impossible? Not with the students and parents I have met here in Rome! They have so many other things to do!

Internet: www.aosr.org 2 (Continued from page 1) Dr. Dougherty: “Don’t Know Much About…. scores of students throughout the century are similar because the tests all are designed on the same basis. Pundits, reporters and politicians who write about the good old days in education are probably too young to remember the good old days. As I get older and older, I remember that some of the methods used in the past to keep test scores high were discriminatory and anti-democratic. For example, in one district in which I worked in the last century, the school counselors did not allow students to take the Scholastic Aptitude Tests unless they had a B aver- age on their report cards. Students who might do poorly on the examination were discouraged from taking the ex- amination. The original population of students on which the SAT examination was standardized came from high schools and private preparatory schools, all of which were preparing students for college. In the late seventies and early eighties politicians pointed out that New Hampshire had the lowest per pupil expenditure in the U.S. and above average SAT scores. On further analysis, very few students in New Hampshire actually took the SAT examination and the three large, exclusive, and highly expensive private schools in New Hampshire—Exeter, Andover and St. Paul’s—had enough students taking the SAT to significantly increase the average scores. The reality was that the students from among the most expensive schools in the U.S. were causing the SAT scores in New Hampshire to be very high. Statistical facts can be misleading. From the perspective of many years of observing students and schools, I believe today’s students at our school know a great deal more about history, science and many other things than past generations of students. Sci- ence instruction in biology has been revolutionized in the last 15 years, for example, based on the ever growing body of scientific research and the rapid dissemination of these discoveries throughout the world.

    Nothing About Us Without Us! Brussels, The Square Conference Book ECPC Cancer Summit Making the Cancer Partnership work Acknowledgements The ECPC Cancer Summit arises from the project “ECPC Cancer Summit: Making the Cancer Partnership work” which has received funding from the European Union, in the framework of the Public Health Programme. The following additional sponsors are supporting the ECPC Cancer Summit with an unrestricted grant: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche and Sanofi Pasteur MSD The funding enables ECPC e.g. to provide travel bursaries to patient groups from across Europe to attend the ECPC Cancer Summit. Dear Participants, Cancer causes great suffering. Cancer destroys lives and families across the continent. I have met cancer patients on various occasions and I am inspired by their courage and determination in fighting this terrible disease. It is through our unwavering commitment and determination that we can help them in their long and painful fight against the disease. Each of us can make a meaningful contribution. Each of us has a role to play: health professionals, policy makers, administrations, civil society and industry. This is what the European Partnership for Action against Cancer is about. The Partnership provides us the right framework to work together. Our action does not end here. For many cancer patients, the treatment they need can be better provided - or is only available - across borders in another European country. The new legislation on cross border healthcare, once adopted, would enable patients to access safe and good quality healthcare all over Europe, and to be reimbursed for it.

  • Nerocaffe' (Biografia)
    NEROCAFFE’ (BIOGRAFIA) La storia dei NEROCAFFE’ inizia nel gennaio 2010. Il progetto artistico, dedicato alla musica italiana d’autore, prevede un concetto universale di musica nel quale i cinque musicisti si identificano. All’interno di questa linea artistica il principio di contaminazione musicale diviene un elemento ricorrente prima, ed essenziale poi, dell’identità della band. Il repertorio si basa prevalentemente sulla musica di Renato Carosone, e sulla rivisitazione di grandi classici della tradizione italiana, scritti o interpretati da artisti come Domenico Modugno, Fred Buscaglione, Antonio De Curtis, Claudio Mattone, Armando Trovajoli, Nicola Piovani, e Giorgio Gaber. Attraverso un intenso lavoro di riarrangiamento dei brani, la band, inserisce nelle strutture musicali citazioni e riferimenti alla musica da film, pop e jazz. Grazie alle esibizioni nei club, nei teatri e nelle radio della penisola, la band si fa notare ed apprezzare per quelle che sono le sue principali peculiarità: originalità, capacità, ed una certa ricercatezza che sia però sempre facilmente fruibile. Il 2011 si segnala come un anno importante, perché segna il debutto della band all’estero. I primi concerti tenutisi a Bruxelles (dove torneranno anche l’anno seguente), donano una dimensione internazionale al gruppo, oltre a testimoniare che i NEROCAFFE’ entrano a far parte di quel ristretto numero di artisti che hanno il privilegio di rappresentare la cultura italiana all’estero. Conseguenza di ciò è l’invito del Principe Alberto di Monaco al Gran Galà della Croix Rouge Monégasque, tenutosi nello splendido scenario della “Salle des Etoiles” dello Sporting Club di Montecarlo nell’agosto del 2013. Parallelamente all’attività live, si completa la produzione del primo disco della band (intitolato Renato Carosone Tribute), ma cosa più importante nasce un suono una identità… nasce NEROCAFFE’ Nel 2016 debuttano presso il Teatro Sistina di Roma, con lo spettacolo "Carosone e dintorni..." (per l'occasione registrato dal vivo su DVD ), riscuotendo grande successo.

  • Renzo Arbore E L'orchestra Italiana
    RENZO ARBORE L’ORCHESTRA ITALIANA Renzo Arbore, grande appassionato di tutta la musica e profondo estimatore della Canzone Napoletana Classica è riuscito a realizzare un sogno (1991): fondare un’orchestra di 15 musicisti, tutti grandi solisti del proprio strumento (chitarre, mandolini, fisarmonica, pianoforte, tamburi, tamburelli e voci), per valorizzare e rilanciare la Canzone Napoletana in Italia e all’Estero, attraverso la rilettura dei classici partenopei, repertorio che rischiava di venire da tutti considerato come parte di un passato da dimenticare. Partito dal modello un po’ naif delle orchestre napoletane, dei primi del secolo, dove le voci ricche di pathos dei cantanti si sposavano con i ritmi e i suoni coinvolgenti delle strade di Napoli, recuperato in prima fila il suono dei mandolini, sperimenta anche originali contaminazioni con alcune sonorità e ritmi rock, blues, country, reggae e sudamericani. Immesse così nuove energie ritmiche a supporto di inedite ed accattivanti sonorità, riesce a riportare all’attenzione del grande pubblico, italiano ed estero, la melodia classica napoletana, come musica di oggi, ancora viva e capace di esprimere le emozioni più intense e travolgenti. Tra il ’92 e il ’98 completa un ambizioso progetto discografico e lo porta al successo con più di un milione di copie: 4 album antologici intitolati “Napoli. Punto e a capo”, “Napoli. Due punti e a capo”, “Napoli. Punto esclamativo!” e “Pecchè nun ce ne jammo in America?”, contenenti alcune tra le più belle e intramontabili melodie napoletane, tra cui Era de Maggio, Maria Marì!, Luna Rossa, Voce ‘e notte!, Reginella, Comme facette mammeta, Malafemmena, Mandulinata a Napule, Torna a Surriento, Aummo..Aummo, ‘O Sarracino, Silenzio cantatore, ‘O sole mio, I’te vurria vasà, Canzone appassionata, Te vojo bene assaje e tante altre.

  • Music& Monuments
    MUSIC& MONUMENTS M U S I C A L E V E N T S I N A B O D E S O F T H E S O U L WHO ARE WE? Music & monuments is a tourist profiled project, born from the heart of The Mousikè Association, which aims to enhance sites of great historical, artistic and cultural significance through different musical formats and ideas, accustomed for different users. CONCEPT The idea is to create greater resonance around these centers, that in themselves have a "tourist attraction" potential. So by adding the musical component, will increase the visitor's overall quality experience. ASSOCIAZIONE MOUSIKÈ ORIGINS The Mousikè Association was founded in 2008 with the aim of creating a new musical circuit based on the excellence and value of young musicians, by making them leaders within the Italian and European Music Scene. Through the format of Reviews, Workshops and Higher Education courses, this associations allows them to be engaged in the dissemination of music, which is considered a necessary means for social growth. WHY MUSIC & MONUMENSTS? Our musical initiatives have focused from the first moment on the enhancement of artistic heritage, represented by the historical sites, and creating a fusion between artistic languages, that has over the years, been popular with the public. While analyzing the great flow of tourism in recent years and considering the Italian Repertory of Music (which is among the most loved in the world), we want to offer structured proposals with the creation of Musical Formats in exclusive locations with a strong interactive vocation, to create unique experiential moments for tourists.
