What is a Standard??

A standard is something that most people agree is appropriate and acceptable.

Example:

In America a STANDARD to eat with a fork, not fingers.

Teachers are expected to behave in standard way: Talk calmly, not yell and help kids learn material.

In school we have standards we are supposed to learn: It is standard for fifth graders to know haw explorers came to the New World, that everything we read has a main idea and 2/4 can be simplified to 1/2!!!
