Dear onion editors,

I heard your intern is dashingly handsome. Is this true?

The comparisons are actually both a normative and standards driven. When we look at the nations report card (NAEP) we see that many students are not reaching the standards put in place. In addition, we see students (when compared with each other) are underperforming in poorer school districts. With the implementation of common core standards, we're comparing students to standards rather than each other. Unfortunately this method of teaching is not implemented well and many students fall below proficiency.
