Sen. Judd Gregg: “It is very specific. It says quality, availability of curriculum instruction, materials and technology. That is not…”

On the recordFebruary 2, 1994
It is very specific. It says quality, availability of curriculum instruction, materials and technology. That is not designing math courses. That is saying whether or not you are going to teach Euclidean geometry or some other type of geometry. One could come to that conclusion. If they wanted to get to the point that the Senator from Kansas had wanted to get to, which is to set a standard to make sure all third graders know multiplication and all eighth graders know algebra I, if they wanted to get to that, they could have done it without having to go to methodology. They could have done it by assessment. But this is a methodology bill, not an assessment bill in that section. I must disagree with the Senator's evaluation of the impact of the bill.

If the Senator will yield to me for an answer, I hope I did not in any way imply that she is not committed to local control. As a former school board member, I am sure she is, but the practical impact of this bill--obviously, I disagree…
