 Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

If lots of third-graders are currently unable to meet this standard, should we throw out the standard? Or should we improve math education, so that in the future, most third-graders will be able to meet this standard? [/quote]

I don't think this is the type of standard that people are complaining about.  This is clear.  Many are not.  And, I would think that most third graders already do this. [/quote]

If most third-graders already do this, then there won't be a problem on this part of the test, right?

But I wish that somebody would provide an example of the type of standard that people are complaining about. How about this first-grade math standard? Is it clear?

Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.

(Keeping in mind that first-graders don't take the NCLB tests.)[/quote]
