[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Again, this is not an argument against standards. It is an argument in favor of good teaching. [/quote] [b]The standards assume that kids have the same baseline. [/b] Why limit those who are already meeting standards? They need higher standards. Students are not all the same. They will not meet the same standards no matter how much you do. They are not cookies. [/quote] No, they don't. All the standards do is say, "A student should be able to do x by the end of x grade." They don't say, "Students better not be able to do more than x by the end of x grade, or we'll whack them on the head until they forget." They also don't say, "Students all start out at the same place. And yes, students will not all meet the same standards no matter what you do. Does this mean that therefore there should be no such thing as standards? I don't think so.[/quote]
