 don't actually have to show you anything because the burden of proof is on the accuser - which is you - and you've posted nothing of substance other than some halfbaked opinions about a couple of standards proclaiming they are bad for no reason other than that you have poor reading comprehension. You have posted no data, no analysis, no criteria for saying why the standards are bad. [/quote]

Oh, Honey.  You have forgotten the first post on this thread.  You are the accuser.

This is the first post in this thread:

"I can’t do it anymore, not in this ‘drill ‘em and kill ‘em’ atmosphere,” she said. “I don’t think anyone understands that in this environment if your child cannot quickly grasp material, study like a robot and pass all of these tests, they will not survive.”

The standing-room-only audience at the Elyria Public Library’s West River Road North branch was shocked. Starr fought back tears as she explained her life as a teacher.

The tests are developmentally inappropriate for typical students and torture for those with special needs, she said. And, even an individual education plan is not enough to shield students from the rigors of state expectations.  [/i]

This is not a pro-Common Core post.[/quote]
