Teachers union backs higher state standards in New York
The union argues for tougher state standards as New York increases teacher certification and content test requirements. Officials note 13,000 uncertified teachers exist with many in New York City, while pass rates on content exams vary but overall numbers of examinees rise. By 2004 the state raised passing scores and expanded exams, changing both failure rates and total successful candidates as more people enter teaching.

It notes near universal scores at Le Moyne College and Syracuse University, with lower results at SUNY Cortland and SUNY Oswego. The state plans expanded exam opportunities and tighter certification rules, including a three-exam maa certificate by 2004 and ongoing 175 hours of professional development every five years.

Census data signal small rebound for traditional two parent families
New Census Bureau data based on 37 000 households show a modest rise in the share of children living with both biological parents from 51 percent in 1991 to 56 percent in 1996. The report notes more complex arrangements exist, including extended and blended families, while delaying marriage and childbearing influence these trends.
