Review # 1 was written on 2019-02-03 00:00:00 Roger Hancock Meier's critique of national standards is idealistic in the best way. Though it didn't provide an air tight solution to my question of how students of color will not be left behind if we don't compare standardized test results nationally, I still think her idea for education in this country is the best recourse. In the end, standards need to be localized and in the hands of the communities they serve: the teachers, families, and administrations who are all *fingers crossed* 100 percent committed and up to the challenge of creating standards custom fit for their students.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-19 00:00:00 Dandanmre Mre Deborah starts with an essay explaining the assumptions upon which standards are based and proposing a separate set of assumptions and why they are better suited to solving education's problems than standardized tests. this is followed by 7 essays that respond to her essay, pro con and in between. Meier gets the last word. virtually all the essays are well written, including those that I don't agree with.
