But Michelle Pawlaw is glad she signed up for it. “Getting to experience the fires hands-on is
22、really cool and something that most people don“t get to do,“ she said. Michelle and eight other teenage girls are 1 in the three-day camp offered by the Arlington County Fire Department 2 just outside of Washington. Firefighter Clare Burley is in charge of the program. “The purpose is to try to get
23、young women interested in 3 the fire service as a career,“ she said. The free of charge, overnight camp is designed to let the girls experience what 4 do in the line of duty to protect the community. That includes some rigorous activities such as moving a fire victim. They take classes and learn how
24、 to climb the ladder on a fire truck, 5 emergency tools and rescue. They also do their share of cleaning the 6 and the equipment for an injured person. Firefighting is still a male-dominated service, but Burley says with 22 women on its force of 320 the Arlington Fire Department is above the nationa
25、l 7 of 4.5 percent. Burley joined the department seven years ago. “We do everything that the guys do to the same standard. We are tested to the same standard. We are 8 to operate at the same standard,“ she said. “We need to wash the lettuce and put it in a green big bowl,“ said Lieutenant Robert Bee

In Kentucky, parents, educators and policy makers can track how many students from a high school go to college, and once they are there, how many require remed
28、ial classes (补 l 习班). Massachusetts is one of several states with an early warning indicator system, which notifies school officials when students appear to be at risk for dropping out of high school. And in Georgia, teachers can easily access years of test scores, class grades and attendance rates
29、for any student. B. Student data advocates argue that used correctly data, including student attendance, test scores and demographics (人口统计), can enrich education. Teachers can better personalize instruction for students, principals can view the academic records of students who move across school di
30、stricts and parents can determine whether a child is on track for college, to name just a few examples. C. But that promise comes with threats to students“ privacy. Parents have expressed concerns that if teachers have easy access to students“ entire academic histories, they might write off those wi
31、th poor records, or that student information might fall into the hands of sexual predators (侵害者). Those concerns have led to heated debates about how much data schools should be collecting, how it should be stored and who should have access to it. D. Over the past year, the Common Core State Standar
32、ds have also triggered discussions about student data, although the standards do not call for the federal government to collect data. “There“s no denying that education technology has the potential to transform learning if it“s used wisely,“ said Joni Lupovitz, vice president of policy at Common Sen
33、se Media, which this fall launched a campaign to raise awareness about student privacy issues. “What we“re working to ensure is that as educators, parents and student embrace more and more education technology, (and) balance the equation by focusing on student privacy to help ensure that we“re creat
34、ing an atmosphere where kids can learn and be engaged and thrive without putting their personal information at risk.“ Relying on a 1970s Law E. Until recently, most states weighing privacy questions relied on the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a 1974 law intended to prote
35、ct student education records. But in recent years, the U.S. Department of Education has made regulatory changes to the law, creating many exceptions. For example, education records now may be shared with outside contractors, such as private companies that track grades or attendance on behalf of scho
36、ol systems. The changes have prompted some states to examine whether they should play a stronger role in protecting student data. F. Paige Kowalski, director of state policy and advocacy for the Data Quality Campaign, a nonprofit that advocates for the effective use of data to improve student achiev
37、ement, said states are starting to realize they need more sophisticated and comprehensive policies, regulations and practices around student privacy, and that they can“t just rely on FERPA. G. “All states have privacy laws on the books, but a lot of them are old,“ Kowalski said. “A lot of them just
38、don“t have modern policies that were written acknowledging that data is even at the state level, let alone stored electronically and because of technology is able to move.“ Kowalski added that states“ privacy policies might refer to outdated information practices, such as checking out paper document
39、s, while failing to discuss modern needs like encryption(加密). H. Most school districts rely on cloud computingmeaning data are stored on servers that can be accessed through the Internetfor everything from cafeteria payments to attendance records. But a recent study by the Center on Law and Informat
40、ion Policy at Fordham Law School concluded that most cloud-based services are “poorly understood, nontransparent and weakly governed“ by schools. Most school districts fail to inform parents that they are using cloud-based services, and many contracts with web-based vendors (供应商) fail to address pri
41、vacy issues, the study found. Keeping Parents in the DarkI. The Electronic Privacy Information Center, a nonprofit research group in Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit in February 2012 against the U.S. Department of Education challenging its FERPA changes, but a federal court dismissed the lawsuit fo
42、r lack of standing. J. Khaliah Barnes, the center“s administrative law counsel, said many schools and states are doing a poor job of informing parents of the issues that can arise with technology. She said school districts should tell parents about the kinds of information they collect, to whom that
43、 information is disclosed and for what purposes. Parents should also have the right to opt out of disclosing certain types of information, she said, and should be informed how to access and change incorrect information. K. Barnes said schools are using new technology to collect information that goes
44、 far beyond attendance records and test scores. Schools have used palm scanners to help students speed through cafeteria lines, and GPS or microchip (微芯片) technology to tell schools when students get on the right school buses or arrive at school, for example. L. One state leading the conversation on
45、 student data privacy is Oklahoma, which in June adopted the Student Data Accessibility, Transparency and Accountability Act establishing rules for the collection and transfer of student data by the state. “It was designed as a system of safeguards to protect student privacy,“ said state representat
46、ive David Brumbaugh, a Republican, who sponsored the legislation. “It stops the release of confidential (机密的) data to organizations outside of Oklahoma without written consent of parents or guardians.“ M. The law prohibits the state from releasing any student-level data without state approval, which
47、 means the education department can release only data that is aggregated and cannot be tied to any individual student. “To my knowledge, we“re the only state that doesn“t release student-level data,“ said Kim Richey, general counsel for the Oklahoma Department of Education. N. Brumbaugh said he“s he
48、ard from lawmakers around the country interested in proposing similar legislation for their states. The conservative American Legislative Exchange Council has also proposed model legislation similar to the Oklahoma bill. O. Other states also have taken action on student data privacy this year: In Ne
49、w York, where a handful of bills related to student data privacy have been introduced in the legislature, the Senate Education Committee held a series of public hearings (听证会) on topics including student privacy around a planned data collection system. Last week, state senator John Flanagan called for a one-year delay in the launch of the data collection system. The Long Island Republican urged lawmakers to strengthen protections for data on the statewide data portal (门户网站) and set civil and crimin
