A letter headed “New standards do not aid college preparation” starts as follows:
“As an educator, I feel there is a wide information gap in the article “New standards ask more from students” (Sunday News, April 7).
“The artice inferred that the ‘rigorous’ standards will prepare our stdents for college. Nothing could be further from the truth.” (Emphasis added)
WATCHDOG: Ouch! We believe the “educator” meant to say ‘implied’, not ‘inferred’, a distinction that most high school graduates understand… or at least should. The writer implies; the reader infers.
