One root cause has been an uneven patchwork of academic standards that vary from state to state and do not agree on what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.

Research does not support the premise that this is a problem. No one has ever established that it is a problem.

"[b]No one has ever established that it is a problem" is different from "research does not support the premise that this is a problem[/b]". Which is it? Has there been research on the effects of the uneven patchwork of academic standards that vary from state to state? If so, what did that research find? If there hasn't been -- it certainly seems reasonable that an uneven patch work of academic standards that vary from state to state would cause problems. [b]If I were doing the research[/b], that's the hypothesis I would want to test.[/quote]

When I read stuff like this, it is dizzying.  I am not either of the PPs on this one.

We have lost our ability to use COMMON SENSE in this country.  We seem to need "research" and "data" and "graphs" and "charts" when all we really need to do is listen to those who are in schools every day experiencing kids and using their COMMON SENSE.  [/quote]
