A more feasible approach would be to give all states an incentive to set objectively high standards themselves. The looming reauthorization of the federal No Child Left Behind Act gives us an opportunity to do it."

Our nation’s eighth graders improved their performance from 2007 to 2009 but scores were flat for fourth graders. Most disappointing was the fact that achievement gaps between minority students and their white peers haven’t narrowed either."
