This website provides you with access to a recent edition of The Merrow Report which featured a lively debate between standards-movement critic Alfie Kohn and Robert Schwartz, president of Achieve, Inc., a promoter of standards-based reform. In the debate, Kohn and Schwartz discuss their contrasting views of standards-based education and the direction reforms should go in the nation's schools. From the Merrow Report webpage, you can listen to the original radio program, read a transcript of the debate, or visit related resources.
