Subject: [SpecialTopics 1045] Re: Last day of state content standards discussion: please weigh in!

In following this discussion, data has been cited that the GED is harder than high school graduation -- that 30% of high school graduates can't pass the GED -- I have heard this statistic since I've been in adult ed -- but have not found the source or actual study.  Does anyone know the actual source of this data?

Thank you.

Subject: [SpecialTopics 1034] Last day of state content standards discussion: please weigh in!

Colleagues,

This is our last day of a very rich, two-week discussion on implementation of state content standards. If you haven't weighed in yet and believe that something else needs to be said, or that an important question hasn't been answered, today's the day to add to the discussion.

Here's today's question:

What have you learned from this discussion that will be useful in your state?

That's it, only one question from me today. I hope some of you who are beginning the process of implementation of content standards and who joined the discussion today to learn from the (extensive) experience of our guests and other subscribers will use this as an opportunity to reflect, and to share with us what has been especially valuable.

For those who subscribed late, the discussion archives will be found at
