5 main points:
- No Child Left Behind and the new state testing requirements continue to be a hotly debated topic, both locally and nationally.
- The goal of 100% proficiency in reading and math by all students is highly unrealistic.
- The parents and teachers definition of rigor are very different. Parents want to see more homework, more math problems, and more memorization. Teachers demand that students move at a faster pace and cover more material in their classes.
- There is a certain kind of core knowledge that students should know as well as specific content that they need to be literate and effective citizens.
- People dont agree on what kind of knowledge is truly foundational across high school graduates.
