I think it's remarkable that the only posters who post specific standards are posters who don't oppose the Common Core standards. Posters who do oppose the Common Core standards seem to do oppose them in aggregate, as though the actual individual standards that make up the Common Core standards as a whole were completely irrelevant.

[b]So many are poorly written or developmentally inappropriate that it makes the whole thing a mess[/b].  That's because they were written by people who do not have to apply them in the classroom.

Yes, I keep reading that here. If there are so many that are poorly written or developmentally inappropriate, it should be super easy to just grab and post some of them. And yet that doesn't happen. Why not?[/quote]

It's because it's an empty slogan that does not hold up to scrutiny.  Reminds me of all of the idiots who listen to Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin et cetera, they live in an echo chamber where the same talking points are echoed over and over and over again to the point where they believe it to their very core.[/quote]
