When it comes to the educational standards, I feel that more attention is given to the more "popular" subjects such as math, english, and science, while subjects such as health and art get talked about much less. I feel this is in big part because of tradition. Most stories, journal entries, historical accounts, etc, talk about the more popular subjects while leaving out the other ones.
When working with the teacher, she uses the standards to make her lesson plans. She enjoys having a basic outline of what to teach, and the fact that the students already have a foundation built from the year before. She did make some comments about it being slightly restrictive to more advanced students, but is good for the average student and those who are slightly struggling.
