Answer 1

Answer:

First of all, before we get to any “reasons,” you need to determine the answers to these questions:

Based on a review of the literature, how do you define “standard of learning?”

Are you using the Commonwealth of Virginia’s “Standards of Learning?” According to Wikipedia, “The Standards of Learning (SOL) is a public school standardized testing program in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It sets forth learning and achievement expectations for core subjects for grades K-12 in Virginia's Public Schools.”

Since you used the word “standard” (lowercase “s” and singular form of the word) of learning, I fear that you may not be using the Commonwealth of Virginia’s “Standards of Learning.”

If not, you need to have a solid definition for what is being measured.

If you are not using the official Commonwealth of Virginia’s “Standards of Learning,” based on a review of the literature, how do you measure “standard of learning?”

What is your time period for this measurement? Before you conclude that the “standard of learning is falling,” you need to make sure that you have sufficient data over a period of time, to conclude that it is really falling. Two points do not a trend make. Even a handful of points (particularly if they fluctuate) may not be sufficient to prove that the standard of learning is really falling.
