The average time frame that is provided for each unit that is to be taught is approximately four weeks. There are some units that average more than eight standards that are to be taught in a four week period. Do you think teachers have enough time to effectively teach content and students master it prior to them being assessed at the end of the school term on state standardized tests? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Eight math standards covered in four weeks is not sufficient time for student mastery. Math taught in classes today is more in depth, and we are asking students to start learning more complicated math at an earlier grade. I believe the expectation set by Georgia Standards of Excellence is not attainable and should be reviewed from the perspective of a teacher or a struggling math student.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with this solution and would do this if I were in this situation!
