Florida Citizens for Science Blog on Standards
ByhenryBrandon Haught has blogged much of the discussion on the Florida Citizens for Science Blog. My previous post is here.

Mother Jones on Failing Schools
ByhenryI have the same sort of ambivalence on evaluating school performance as I do regarding church performance. A “by the numbers” approach keeps people from (successfully) making excuses, but it may not measure what you actually want to measure.
