I found this to be an interesting point --

Quote:

Learn more about the standards development efforts of states that have made recent progress, such as Indiana, Minnesota, and Massachusetts, and apply lessons from that work to improve practice and build greater consensus

I just finished the book "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell, and I agree with his research that shows schools work! Teachers teach and students learn. Our biggest problem is that the kids in lower socio-economic groups forget most of what they learn over the summer! This is what causes us to be spinning our wheels for the better part of the school year with these kids. We will never have a system that works for all kids until we adequately address our poverty issues and develop a greater commitment to hard work and school success.
