There are no accommodations for children in Common Core. [b]All students are expected to be in the same place at all times. [/b] It's in total conflict with the IDEA.[/quote]

Who expects all students to be in the same place at all times?

Also, of course the Common Core standards don't have accommodations. They are standards. As in, "This is what a student should be able to do by the end of second grade."  How a school district gets children -- including children in special education -- to meet those standards is up to the school district. The IDEA does not apply to the Common Core standards. The IDEA applies to states.[/quote]

The Common Core demands that all students be taught at grade level.  And since states adopted Common Core just for the cash, now they have zero idea of how to accommodate both the federally mandated IDEA and the state-mandated Common Core (it's not federal, remember?)

It's a colossal failure for special ed students, their teachers and their schools. It puts them in a totally lose-lose situation. And it also proves Common Core was rushed in with now true thought behind it.
