My appearance on KET's "Kentucky Tonight" tonight on Next Generation Science Standards

I was on KET's "Kentucky Tonight" program tonight discussing the state's science standards, which are modeled on the Next Generation Science Standards. The link for info on the show is here. It will air again on Wednesday at 2:00 a.m., 1:00 CT if you want to DVR it. The video will also be posted in a day or two. I'll post with that link.

You've got to watch the stone silence that greeted the question I asked with about 10 seconds left in the program. It made my point better than anything they could have said.

The KY BOE was rather clear about why they didn't change the standards in response to comments: http://portal.ksba.org/public/Meeting/Attachments/DisplayAttachment.aspx?AttachmentID=178938

The people who testified against the standards served their own cause poorly. See: http://mediaportal.education.ky.gov/leadership/kentucky-department-of-education/2013/07/kde-public-hearing-7232013/
