New Standards

 Sometimes when you see titles such as the one that I have posted for this entry I know what you might be thinking, is this like new and improved products in the grocery store? They just rename so that we can have something new to purchase.

In the case of new standards for Ohio Schools, as seen here, it is slightly more important. What we have in this case is switch from having students cover a laundry list of items that cover a wide range of topics to covering fewer items, but in much more depth. 

This is something we need to all support if we want our students to become thinkers and learners and not merely test takers.

What do you think?
