Improvements in Math and English Standards Still Inadequate
The Thomas B. Fordham Foundation released its "State of State
Standards 2005" reports last week. According to the
two reports, which were issued nationally, improvements have been
made in the standards for both math and English instruction. However,
the two subjects still fall short in terms of meeting the goals
set in the NCLB act. While most states fell into the C or
D range in both categories, eleven received F's in math and 8 failed
in meeting state English standards. Overall, 34 states have
improved and 15 have declined since the last Fordham report in
2000.
