Description

Ms. Castor was responsible for implementing Florida's new law on educational accountability. Ms. Resnick served on the National Council of Education Standards and Testing and was a co-founder of the New Standards Project, which was working with 17 states, including Florida, to develop appropriate standardized tests. Both guests clearly know their stuff; unfortunately, neither, despite Mr. Buckley's questioning, rises sufficiently above generalities to teach us much we didn't know. LR: "We have, in fact, a double standard. We don't say we do, we don't mean to, but we have it de facto. We have a hidden tracking system that begins in kindergarten or first grade that's very difficult to break and that allows certain children to slide through with low expectations for them."
