One of the criticisms of US public education is that too large of a fraction of the curriculum is spent "teaching to the test", which doesn't allow room for teachers to show their individual talents and design curriculum which really reaches the students. I fear that additional national standards would only worsen that trend.
- umanwizard 8y agoJust because something is a criticism doesn't mean it's a valid one. Basically every developed country has a national standardized school-leaving exam. Almost all of them have better education results than the United States.
