How Common Core is wrecking kindergartner -- with SPECIFIC examples

[Anonymous]

Oh, I guess it's the "CC is developmentally inappropriate" person again - who has failed again and again to prove her point or make her case.

Who better to know than classroom teachers--the ones who were not included in the development of the standards.

Fine. The Common Core standards are developmentally inappropriate. Every standard, in every grade, is developmentally inappropriate, because classroom teachers, who are the true and only experts, were not included in the development of the standards. There. Done. Now, what do you propose we do about it?

Get rid of them. Start over with a plan. What good are bad standards? If you use the wrong form of measure, you are not going to have good results.

Your solution is to get rid of the Common Core standards and start over with a plan? A plan for what? If you get rid of the Common Core standards, should the states go back to the standards they had before the Common Core standards? Are those standards better? Are you proposing another big, multi-year, multi-state effort, just like the Common Core development process, except this time done the way you think it should be done? How do you think it should be done? How long will it take?

Again, WRONG. http://www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards/development-process/

No matter how many times you try and say "developmentally inappropriate" or "no classroom teachers were included" it still won't be true.

You can't quote from the PR of the CC website and expect us to take it -- or you -- seriously.

Actually, I agree with you. The anti-Common Core posters on DCUM have fully demonstrated that nothing will persuade them.

What I want to know is, what do you propose as a viable alternative? "Get rid of the Common Core!", with nothing else, is not a viable alternative. It's just a temper tantrum.

When you can post some lists of the classroom teachers involved--other than the two on the workgroups (one who has been openly critical) then maybe I will believe this. There is no data to support the claim.

The development committees have been listed. There are no classroom teachers on them.

What practical difference does this make for us in 2015?

[Anonymous]

Isn't there a yearly committee to review how the standards are doing and make adjustments as needed? I don't get all the fuss.

Nope. This doesn't exist. No plans to tweak the standards, nobody taking a look a them. Just dropped on the unsuspecting public like the Ten Commandments. One of their MANY flaws.

Teachers were involved, says Politifact.
