[quote=Anonymous] Let's just agree that what "good" and "bad" are in reference to a standard is pretty dang subjective. Nobody can define what "good" is ("good" for what? All students? employment? going to college? for a certain developmental stage for the average child? for checking on whether the teacher is doing a good job?) Furthermore, the interpretation of standards (by the textbook companies and test makers) is going to be just that-- interpretation of "standards" that people may or may not understand or may or may not be specific enough to even test. Heck, we can't even agree on what this stuff means or whether it's "good" or "bad". The second question is whether it even makes any difference (based on what the teachers are saying, NO). Of course we can't trust those dang teachers to be worth spit, so we'd better trust these standards to do the job, right? They're dead. People over standards. [/quote]
