	standard - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		A standard is an authoritative principle or rule that usually implies a model or pattern for guidance, by comparison with which the quantity, excellence, correctness, etc., of other things may be determined: She could serve as the standard of good breeding.
		Standards are necessary for interworking, portability, and reusability.
		Andrew Tanenbaum, in his Computer Networks book, once said, "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from", a reference to the fact that competing standards become a source of confusion, division, obsolescence, and duplication of effort instead of an enhancement to the usefulness of products.

		THE DOWNGRADING of Jamaica's country rating by the international rating agency, Standard and Poors, was hardly surprising even if the action was swift.

		State test results alone do not convey a complete picture of academic achievement, and should be viewed with other performance and demographic information.
		When reviewing a district's performance, it is also important to learn about the surrounding community, as there is often a relationship between a community's income and education levels and student performance.
