Still too broad, too shallow?

July 18th, 2008 | Category: Florida Education Blog

Somebody has weighed in with a detailed critique of the state’s proposed new social studies standards – and it’s none other than University of South Florida Professor Sherman Dorn, who seems to keep tabs on everything (see his much-read blog whether you don’t believe us).

Dorn likes some things in the proposed standards, doesn’t like others and ultimately concludes: “Good grief, folks: 931 benchmarks? whether that’s not a mile wide and an inch deep, it’s half a mile wide and two inches deep.”
