Standards are set by the district, state and federal goverments.  They are a listing of the different skills and knowledge a student should have for each grade year (1st through 12th) in particular subjects: English/Language arts, Math, Social Science, Science, and sometimes others.  The grading system reports how successfully the child has acquired and can utilize the knowledge and skills.

It is the standard of review of administrative decisions.  The executive branch may interpret and enforce the law and make such administrative determinations as are required o long as they are not arbitrary nor capricious.\n\nIt's a pretty difficult standard to prove.  The decision  made must be entirely unsupportable by the facts.  If, let's say, the Department of Health closes down your restaurant because they think there's a rat infestation ut it turns out that no health inspector ever even visited the restaurant, that would be arbitrary and capricious.  BUT, if a health inspector would have found a rat infestation if he had inspected even though he never did, the decision is not arbitrary or capricious and is enforceable.\n\nIn general, if the administrator is drunk or high or too stupid to breathe but accidentally stumbles and falls onto a decision that a rational person might have made, the decision will stand.

Mark: \nMoney. Normally means the silver mark, a measure of silver, generally eight ounces, accepted throughout medieval western Europe. Although they were sometimes "clipped" or "debased," the English silver penny contained a standard weight of silver and so could be traded across Europe. In England the mark was worth thirteen shillings and four pence, ie. two thirds of £1. Equivalent to present value of the Euro.

It is a good way of checking how well we are educating our children.  If we can see they cannot spell the word Standardized, for example, we know there is a problem, and can take steps to address the problem.  If we don't have standards, we aren't aware of the problem until it's too late.  When you goto the market, do you just pick up pieces of fruit at random?  or do you check for bruises, insects etc.  Standards insure quality.

Time is currently one of the few fundamental quantities (quantities which cannot be defined via other quantities because there is nothing more fundamental known at present). Thus, similar to definition of other fundamental quantities (like space and mass), time is defined via measurement. Currently, the standard time interval (called conventional second, or simply second) is defined as 9 192 631 770 oscillations of a hyperfine transition in the 133Cs atom.

The annual amortization shall be the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product including the period being reported on.  Amortization shall start when the product is available for general release to customers.  [FAS86, ¶8]
