[quote=Anonymous]I started a new thread because I was about to hijack another thread with this topic.

[quote=Anonymous]MCPS curriculum is open to interpretation. So the same indicators are taught and assessed differently from school to school. It's so frustrating!!!

Textbooks, workbooks, & websites aligned to MCPS's version of common core should be provided. Teachers need to be on the same page and instructing the same way. And parents need to be able to reference these methods for remediation at home, if needed. [/quote]

It's always about the money, follow the money and you find the truth.  Quote from Bill Gates the largest financial backer of Common Core.   http://www.gatesfoundation.org/media-center/speeches/2009/07/bill-gates-national-conference-of-state-legislatures-ncsl

[b]When the tests are aligned to the common standards, the curriculum will line up as well—and that will unleash powerful market forces in the service of better teaching.[b] For the first time, there will be a large base of customers eager to buy products that can help every kid learn and every teacher get better.[/b] Imagine having the people who create electrifying video games applying their intelligence to online tools that pull kids in and make algebra fun.[/b]

WE are that large base of customers who will be eager to buy products, both as parents and state school systems.  Parents will spend any amount of money for their kids to learn, and all these resources are not going to be opensource.  Common Core Standards are copyrighted.   This is why many states have pulled out of PARCC testing.  Pearson makes Halliburton look like a charity compared to what they are going to make on education.
