The comments by the president of the Maryland State legislature

Maryland is a good start. They have developed clear standards for what children should learn, the 3rd, 5th and 8 classes, particularly in reading and math, clear and tests to measure their school in the area around the school and the school to school. You are operating accounts schools for manufacturing grade, reward excellence, in schools, which does not work. They have indeed high levels, you have five years of steady and sustained progress in achieving these standards.

But Maryland and all other States must do more. To compete and win in 21 century, we need a high degree of excellence that all states agree. That is why I called in my State of the Union Address, for national standards of excellence in the foundation - not the federal standards, but national standards represent what our students need to know to succeed in a new century. I called each State to consider every 4 students in reading and each 8 students in mathematics from 1999, according to national standards to ensure that they are respected.

We already widely recognized stringent national standards in both reading and mathematics, and widespread tests based on standards. A Reading, Maryland and more than 40 other countries participated in a test called the National Assessment of Education Progress, we all call for education Junkies NAEP test. It measures a state of the overall performance against a high national standard of excellence. “This is a good test. In mathematics, tens of thousands of students in our nation states are already the third International Mathematics and Science Survey, called the TIMSS test, a test, world-class standards of our children must be of the new era.

As I have in my State of the Union last month, the Secretary-General Riley and I visited northern Illinois, where the 8th class of 20 students were the districts test and tying for first in the world of science, and second in mathematics. We know it is the norm in the world, and we know that the world is the default standard for good, we should all keep.

Unfortunately, such tests - evaluating the progress of education for the 4th Class reading test, and the third international study in mathematics and science for the 8th class - do not offer individual assessments, but only measure how a state is full. What we need, testing, measuring the performance of each student and everyone, each and every school, each district and each, so that parents and teachers know that each child is in relation to other students in other schools in other U.S. and in other countries - and not only in relation to them, but what is even more important in comparison to what they need to know.

There is something wrong to compare all children against the other, unless all children are first kept at a high level. That is what we know. This is the only thing that really matters. That is why I am submitting a plan to help all students in all countries meet those standards and measure.

Over the next two years, our Department of Education, development of new tests for Class 4 reading on the basis of national assessment of educational progress and 8 mathematics class is based on the International Centre of Mathematics and Informatics survey, to show how each student to existing measures, standards widely accepted. These tests are carried out by independent experts to examine in consultation with key teachers of mathematics and reading. The federal government will not be required, but they are each state and each school elects circle they manage. I believe that each country must participate and that each parent has a right to honest, accurate information about how their child or its result, based on actual data, sound national standards. (Applause.)

Well, since last week, I heard some people say, like a federal power to seize me. This is absurd. We will try not to ask them, they are not federal standards, they are national standards. But we were behind a very small fig leaf for a very long time, and the results are not satisfactory. Who said that a country as large and diverse as ours, can not on national standards in the foundations - and I say that in Maryland, Michigan Montana, reading is reading and math is math. No School Board is responsible for algebra, the state and the legislature can not adopt the law of physics. And it is time to act, we started, as we know, that we should. (Applause.)

It is another thing that says, now, and confront you, because I know that many - I do Zillion by a state legislative meetings, each has a new idea and everybody wants more money, and it is never To get enough. And you were told - and it is true - that we have a lot of standardized tests. True, there are many standardized tests, but there is no test test national standards. It is quite another thing. There are no national examinations are all our children, who said, here it is, what makes a good fourth students must learn.
