"The STANDARDS"

Teachers these days do not "teach" what they want to or what the students "need".   Instead, the goal is to cover the standards.  The STATE dictates what the teachers teach, through these standards, then the school administration gives teachers a curriculum with which to follow.  Testing is mandated, standardized and checked with even more "benchmark testing".
Can you imagine being an elementary student in today's schools....
