For me I think that standards are important. I am looking at is a student and as a parent. As a student I agree that standards are something that I should be held to. This is so that the organization that I am wanting to be a part of or am a part of can visibly see how I am performing. I also think of this when I was in the military. There were standards that were set, and you either met them or you didn't. If you didn't meet the standard, then remedial actions were taken so that you could meet the standard. How I see that being a student is possibly the opportunities to have more open communication to better understand what is being asked of you. As far as not meeting the standard I do not see much remedial action, other than having to retake a course, or pay to take a test to possibly bypass a course.
As a parent I want my daughter held to a standard. Yes I can do what I can to best prepare her for what she needs, but there are research based standards that are established to help give guidance for a child's development. This being the guidance to having the most chances at success in the various areas that we are able to have standards set for.
