Bôi đen chỗ trống xem đáp án.[MP3]https://server1.vnkienthuc.com/files/3/Media/se-ed-common-academic-standards-pt2-16jun11.mp3[/MP3]This is the VOA Special English Education Report. What [A]American students[/A] are expected to learn has long been different  from state to state. We talked last time about the [A]tradition [/A]of local  control of schools. To some people, the lack of [A]national academic  standards[/A] is an important limit on [A]federal[/A] powers. But others say all it  does is limit American [A]competitiveness[/A] in a world that is becoming more [A]educated[/A]. Now, state governors and chief school [A]officers[/A] are leading a movement  toward what are known as the "common core state standards." These list  content in math and English language arts that students are expected to  learn each year from [A]kindergarten[/A] to high school. In the past year, most of the fifty states have adopted these  standards. That speed is partly explained by President Obama's Race to  the Top [A]competition[/A]. Accepting the standards helped states that competed  last year for federal money for school [A]reform[/A] efforts. Patrick Murray has been an [A]elected member [/A]of the school governing  board in Bradford, Maine, for four years. The public school system is  small, just one thousand two hundred students from five towns. In April,  Maine became the forty-second state to [A]approve[/A] the common core  standards. Mr. Murray says he does not trust [A]supporters[/A] of these standards.  "They say this is a state-led effort," he says, but he thinks the goal  is [A]national control[/A] of education. PATRICK MURRAY: "Any school that receives federal or state money is going to be required to use the [A]common core standards[/A]." He says many states have adopted the common core standards only because they were offered federal money. PATRICK MURRAY: "My opinion is when you have federal mandates and federal money [A]involved[/A], it's no longer state-led." Mr. Murray says national academic [A]standards[/A] would violate the United  States Constitution. He believes the [A]federal government[/A] should have no  role in education -- none. Patience Blythe disagrees. Ms. Blythe has taught for five years. She  recently moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Before that she was a [A]science teacher[/A] in Texas -- one of the few states not to adopt the  common core standards. Ms. Blythe says national standards could [A]improve[/A] the results of American students on international science tests. PATIENCE BLYTHE: "Not everything has to be a state issue. There could  be a [A]benefit [/A]from some more federal involvement in our education  system, that we could address a lot of the [A]inequalities [/A]that we have." She also disagrees with those who say the standards could limit the ability of teachers to be [A]creative[/A]. PATIENCE BLYTHE: "The reality is the standards give you keys and  tools to understand what the objectives are, and understand what the [A]questions[/A] on whatever state assessment you're going to take are going to  cover. I can be as creative as I want to, especially if I have a good  team of teachers to work with, and that we can work together and [A]bounce[/A]  ideas off each other."</blockquote>
