this editorial is called "national school standards, at last". its about how the national governors association wants the states to agree on a new set standard of learning for students in the US. their proposal indicates certain things the students will learn from year to year wwhich may lead to changes in curriculum, testing and teaching. it talks about how nationally, student performance is very low and the learning standards are different in each district. students in some countys arent learning the same things as students in other countys, even at the same grade level. students are performing badly in reading and math compared to other countries.
I think that this new proposal would be a good thing.its true that not all students are learning exactly the same things and because of this, it gives the ones that happen to be learning more then others in school in advantage in important tests such as the SAT.higher standards need to be set so that all students will be able to get the full education they deserve and wont have to struggle or be denied to a school because of poor tests scores becausse they werent taught a cartain thing that others may have been taught.let's face it, we dont always have the best of teachers on staff at highschools. they may not teach effectively or they fail to fully help students succeed, which effects the students more than they realize. students should not have to suffer and be denied the ability to achieve certain goals or be denied the opportunity to go to a university because they werent able to learn as much as they could from the teachers who are being paid to do it. this snag in the educational system just gives kids in other countys an advantage.why should that be allowed? all students who are willing to learn should have the right to learn everything they are supposed to. this also goes with some schools having certain classes and programs that other schools dont have.this is unfair because it makes it so kids who would have liked to take those classes unable to just because they happen to go to a school that doesnt offer it.what are they supposed to do then, transfer schools just so they can take that class?the system is highly flawed and unbalanced and it should be fixed because this makes such a huge impact on millions of lives. why should something as important as education be overlooked?
