  • Disabled Students Letter to Mayor
    THE LEGISLATURE STATE OF NEW YORK ALBANY January 14, 2021 Honorable Bill de Blasio Mayor of the City of New York City Hall, New York, NY 10007 Dear Mayor de Blasio: In these diffiCult times, we applaud you and the Chancellor for starting the hard work of developing a proaCtive plan to Close the “COVID aChievement gap” experienced by many students throughout the City. We reCognize that the details of this plan are still being determined. We write today to make several recommendations for you to consider as you work to address both the achievement gap in academic, social and physical skill areas and the regression of life among the approximately 200,000 students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Unlike other students, this population of Children may never catch up on what was lost during the days of remote learning. With regard to the effort to provide families the option of blended or remote instruction models, appropriate staffing has beCome a Challenge, partiCularly for students with IEPs. This has been detailed in the press and in testimony from parents and other stakeholders at the joint Committee hearing of the New York City Council on the reopening of sChools (10/23/20).

  • Esperanto and the Market State
    113 Język. Komunikacja. Informacja Ilona Koutny, Ida Stria (red./ed.) 12/2017: 113–120 Michael Farris Esperanto and the Market State Abstrakt (Esperanto i państwo rynkowe). Państwo narodowe jest modelem rządu skupiają- cym główne grupy etniczne, językowe bądź kulturowe na wspólnym terytorium. Jego początki pochodzą z XVII i XVII wieku i było najpowszechniejszym modelem Państwa w XIX i XX wieku. W tym modelu uzasadnienie dla rządu wynika z dostarczania usług obywatelom (np. edukacja, infrastruktura, zabezpieczenie społeczne). Esperanto jest produktem ery państwa narodowego i wiele symboli i struktur ruchu esperanckiego związanych jest z ideami państwa narodowego. Obecnie natomiast według wielu analityków i publicystów, ten model organi- zacji państwa chyli się ku upadkowi, a wyłania się nowy model państwa, często określany jako państwo rynkowe. W państwie rynkowym relacje między obywatelem i rządem, tak jak między samymi rządami, ulegają daleko idącym przemianom. Ten artykuł omówi możliwości i przeszkody dla ruchu esperanckiego wynikające z tego nowego modelu państwa. Abstract. The nation state is a form of government that merges a dominant ethnic or culture group with a political entity on a shared territory. It dates from the 17th and 18th centuries and it was the dominant state form in the 19th and 20th centuries. In this model, govern- ment legitimacy stems from providing services (such as education, infrastructure and social programs) to the citizenry.
