Ars Technica reports on the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation's report on The State of State Science Standards 2005. From the summary:
* 19 states rate an A or B rating (this is >50% of the school population)
* 16 states rate a C or D
* 15 states rate an F
* Iowa is not counted as it does not publish science standards.
The last such evaluation was in 2000. While the ratings of many states changed, overall the trend is close to flat (the number of A and B's stayed the same, but the number of F's increased). No Child Left Behind indeed. It's a good thing in 2000 we choose "The Education President". So what has he done?
