Actually I think that the people who want to change the standards have the burden of proving that there is a problem that they are solving and that these standards are a viable solution to that "problem".  A lot of money is being spent on this and they need to show that the money is spent for the betterment of the situation.  They are the ones who are proposing this solution.  If I propose to implant a computer chip in your brain, I should probably have to tell you why and how it will improve you.  If I tell you that you have to prove why it won't be good because I don't agree with having the chip implanted, well [b]that is not how it works.[/b]  Especially if I am paying for it. You have to convince me to buy it. [/quote]

You don't think there's a problem?  Um, I say the problem is the fact that there are millions of American kids graduating from high schools all around the country each year who can barely read, who can't make change, and who can't point out the Pacific Ocean on a world map.  [/quote]
