[Reimer, Bennett, 9/2004, Reconceiving the national standards and school music program, MEJ, pp.33-37]


     In this article, Reimer talks about the idea of "re-formatting" the national standards and trying to lead reform in the change of school music programs. With regards to the standards "re-formatting", Reimer goes into detail and lists the pros and cons of the idea of re-doing the national standards and the format of it. 
     I have no personal connections to the standards except through my Mom using them to plan her lessons when she could teach. 
     I don't necessarily agree with Reimer's belief that re-formatting the national standards is the best idea, mainly because I do not like change. I think that it is easier just to leave it how it is.
