[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2015/01/08/mom-spells-out-problems-with-parcc-common-core-test/ A New Jersey mom gives specific problems with the Common Core. NCLB is not innocent in this, either.[/quote] Again, she does not cite any specific CC standard that is problematic. I think her criticism is misguided and misdirected. There's NOTHING in Common Core that says her kid's teacher couldn't have taken the kids on the field trip, taught them about cranberry bogs and the Lenni Lenape and the other things, if she wanted to. Her issue isn't Common Core, it's her uninspired educators who are only teaching to the lowest common denominator and meeting the minimal CC standard and doing nothing more. I'd wager that the mom complaining probably learned most of what was in Common Core when she was in 4th grade.[/quote]
