The Knoxville Chamber says so.
And, they are right!
TN should set high standards and set them now, rather than waiting for the tests to come out and then setting the bar artificially low.
And not just in reading and math. In science and writing. Kentucky is FAR ahead of us in science and writing gains because they have set high standards and consistently worked to achieve them.
Tennessee should follow their lead. If Kentucky beat UT in football as often and as badly as Kentucky beats us in academics, there would be a riot.
Let's riot now for academic excellence. We're getting beaten badly and the losers could be the next generation of Tennesseans unless we change the gameplan.
