9-25-13 walker-academic standards

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker says he'd support the Legislature looking into more rigorous academic standards than the uniform national ones for public school testing. The voluntary Common Core standards create basic requirements for math and English language arts. The goal is to apply requirements for math and English that would be followed across state lines. Walker says he'd like Wisconsin "to be in a position where we can identify our own unique standards."
