Data: States lowered standards on math and reading
Many states lowered their standards on state math or reading tests from 2005 to 2007, according to data compiled by the Department of Education. While a number of states adopted stricter standards during the same time period, "overall, standards were more likely to be lower than higher," a department official said. No Child Left Behind requires states to show by 2014 that 100% of their students are proficient on state math and reading tests or face sanctions, and a North Carolina administrator said states are faced with the risk of not meeting NCLB goals when they raise standards.
