So you have a bunch of children with learning disabilities, autism, fragile X, ect.  who could be quite successful in life but because the standards are specifically designed to highlight their weaknesses and punish them for it, they are doomed to  lifetime of public assistance because they won't get a high school diploma.  I hope you and your special little kids like paying for it. [/quote]

Do you think that people who came up with the Common Core standards said, "Let's design the standards to highlight the weakness of children with learning disabilities, autism, fragile X, etc., so that we can punish them for their weaknesses and doom them to a lifetime of public assistance because they won't get a high school diploma! Yay!"

I'm sorry.

I think it's important to point out, though, that a standard is not a standard if it is flexible enough to take everybody's varied needs into account. So what you are basically arguing against is the whole idea of standards.[/quote]
