[quote=Anonymous][quote]So what is the correct relationship between standards and achievement? Low standards result in high achievement? No standards result in high achievement? High standards result in low achievement? There is no relationship between standards and achievement? Please explain, with supporting evidence.[/quote]

The honest to God problem is that we are sitting here arguing about standards at all.  The relationship between standards and achievement doesn't mean a hill of beans in the total picture.  If we could drive achievement by changing the "standards", well we would have had success a LONG time ago.  Has anyone shown that states with "higher" standards had more success (before the CC)?  If so, why don't the pro CC people use those states as evidence for changing to the "higher level" CC standards?  That would make their argument a lot more iron clad.

Why do we keep trying the same solutions to our problem?  You want to know the answer?  It's because doing what it really takes is not something that cannot be directed by the federal government and international publishing companies (and they know it).  [/quote]
