[quote=Anonymous][quote] The Common Core tests require the students to explain ON THE TESTS -- which are supposed to be assessing the students' understanding. (Or rather, I assume that the tests require the students to do that. I haven't seen the tests.) That is very different from being required to explain everything. If I didn't know better, I would conclude from these threads on DCUM that the Common Core requires that every time a child does 5x7, the child has to also write an accompanying essay explaining that the child knows that five times seven is 35 because if you have five things in a row, and you have seven rows, you have 35 things. [/quote] I'll let you in on a little secret: schools today PRACTICE constantly for tests. If it is a standard, it will be tested and it will be reviewed ad nauseum. That is the problem. [/quote]
