Standards. Standards define what students are expected to know and be able to do at each level of education in order to, ultimately, be prepared for the rigors of college, careers and civic life.

Brain swelling is the leading cause of death from a brain injury. Time is a factor in treating brain swelling, so do not wait to see if symptoms appear before seeking help. Severe brain damage can occur if too much time lapses.
1 Swelling: Swelling of brain tissue can occur even without distress. 2  Sometimes a lack of oxygen, electrolyte imbalance, or hormones can cause swelling. 3  Bleeding: Bleeding in the layers of the brain may cause coma due to swelling and compression on the injured side of the brain.
