As a result of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, all 50 states now have standards for reading, mathematics, and science. First, consider which content areas, if any, should be subject to state standards. In your answer, address not only reading, math, and science, but also the other content areas discussed in Chapter 10. Should new standards be developed, or current standards dropped? Then, consider whether there should be national standards for any or all of these content areas. In several paragraphs, justify your decision with evidence from Chapter 10. Be sure to discuss the evidence relative to the specific content areas.

Provide evidence to support that position. Students should rely on evidence presented throughout the chapter.
