Extra Credit


You Decide activity:
I would have to agree that having standards are, in fact, essential for teaching.  As much as they may inconvenience teachers with all the paperwork and time commitment they include, they are the building blocks of teaching.  Without these standards it would be like teaching aimlessly and without any real sense of direction.  It would especially make it difficult if a student would, for some reason, have to relocate and change schools because this student may be either far behind or ahead of the rest of the students.  Having standards prepares students for college and allows every student in every grade level across the state be on the same page.  Teachers jobs are to take the time to create, revise and look over standards so it should not be too much of an inconvenience to them.
