Education activist Michelle Rhee writes that adopting Common Core standards will help American students keep up with the world.
But what good are standards if they are never enforced? What good would new standards be for a district like Reading School District? Problems there with leadership, finances and academic achievement have been obvious for years, if not decades, based on any standard you care to use.
But, perhaps until recently, nothing changed. Neither the state – which I would think has the duty – nor the community intervened in any effective way to change the district’s course.
