In order that no child is left behind, the Department of Education will be lowering standards by 20%.

Public-school students will face a drop in the number of standards in which they must show proficiency, a move that could lead to better scores in one of the toughest state tests in the nation.

One teacher has even been reported as saying that the math standardized test is “demoralizing to students.” Demoralizing?! So, just that I understand, instead of raising teaching standards, and providing students with a better education, we’re just going to lower the standards to make sure more pass?!
