According to Doug Reeves - (101 Questions and Answers about Standards, Assessment, and Accountability, 2004):
By comparing one child’s performance to a clear standard, parents, children and teachers all know precisely what is expected.

The most important advantages for children and families are fairness, clarity, and improved learning.”
