A
national review of state academic standards in English and math ranks
Georgia among the best in the country for the depth and clarity of its
expectations.
I'm not really surprised by this. Our state has put a lot of effort
into developing a comprehensive and well-defined set of standards, to
be adopted next year. Teachers are being trained on it now. Of course
now the challenge...to rank above 49th in the performance on those
standards. (Not to mention teaching the next generation of newspaper editors that the plural of "curriculum" is "curricula.")
