Do we need national education standards?

By BY SANDRA STOTSKY SPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE

Many Americans support the idea of common, or national, standards. They believe national K-12 standards would ensure that all students, no matter where they live and what school they attend, are taught a body of common national and world knowledge, acquire a mature understanding and use of the English language, and gain enough mathematical knowledge and skill to participate competitively in the 21st Century global economy.
