New Education Standards

Governor Bill Ritter unveiled a long awaited proposal on Wednesday to reform school standards. The measure seeks to better prepare kids for college and the workforce, but it will likely be years before students would see real changes in the classroom. Bente Birkeland reports from Denver.

Ritter is a smart guy, and he's right about having the right people, but the past shows this doesn't necessarily guarantee success.
I always cringe when someone proclaims sweeping changes or an overhaul of the educational system. It doesn't seem to get better - only different.
I suppose that as long as things don't get worse, they might as well keep trying until they get it right. It's just very confusing for everyone when every few years the whole slate changes.
Good report, Bente.
