“the ruin of the state’s public education system,” they may be surprised to hear what educators are saying.
“I see our teachers being very supportive of high standards for the state performance,” said Rappahannock County’s Assistant Superintendent of Schools Mary Ann Biggs. “I think the adjustment period has its uncomfortable moments, but overall our kids are going to be successful.”
“One thing it does is it helps to get focused, and know that testing and teaching are the same thing,” said Biggs. “Another thing is that it sets up a framework so a child who moves from one school to another school within the state has the exact same standards.”
According to Gary Utz, a Warren County School administrator in charge of testing, “The standards are very, very high and we want those standards to be high.”
He called this “the first step in a long trip, a long journey.”
Biggs added that the teachers have invested a lot of time out of school preparing the new Standards of Learning curriculum since the state required schools to adopt them several years ago.
