The state Academic Achievement and Accountability Commission met in Vancouver yesterday and made this reccomendation:

...none of the eight commission members at yesterday's meeting favored requiring students to earn a score of "proficient" in each of three subjects — reading, writing and math — starting in 2008.

Instead, commissioners voted to allow students to reach the "proficient" level in one or two subjects in 2008, as long as they reach the "basic" level in the others.

Why? They all said they felt state lawmakers haven't come through with enough resources to ensure that the state isn't setting students up to fail

Who is going to measure the resources? When will it be enough?

So much for high standards.
