Common Sense: The Most Important Standard.
Saul, Mark
Mathematics Teacher, v90 n3 p182-84 Mar 1997
NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards are often invoked to support many kinds of educational practices; however, the Standards were not written as a prescription for teaching and learning. Instead of taking the Standards literally, educators should use common sense to judge how to use them in individual situations. Includes case study examples of misapplying Standards. (PVD)
