Yesterday's Education Daily carried the headline, "Experts: Uniform standards could gain ground in 2009." Consider this quote from uber-pundit Jack Jennings of the Center on Education Policy: "Two years ago, I wouldn't have given nation??al standards much of a chance at all, but I think the atmosphere is changing. Teachers, administrators and legislators are thinking about it, as long as the federal govern??ment doesn't dictate the standards."
Perhaps achieving national standards and tests isn't such an impossible dream, after all.
