Text (Slide 14):
Parents and Teachers Show Strong Support for Higher Academic Standards
When it comes to this effort toward higher academic standards, do you think
your school district should:
Parents: 53% say continue the effort, 42% say continue the effort but make
some adjustments, and 1% says to go back to the way things were.
Teachers: 55% say continue the effort, 34% say continue the effort but make some
adjustments, and 2% say go back to the way things were.
