[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2014/10/23/the-science-of-the-common-core-experts-weigh-in-on-its-developmental-appropriateness/ Nice summary of problems with Common Core. Quotes from experts.[/quote] Major "problems" with the Common Core standards: 1. Children aged 4-7 should be playing. However, they weren't playing before the Common Core standards, and if the Common Core standards went away tomorrow, they still wouldn't be playing. 2. Testing. However, the requirement for testing comes from the No Child Left Behind Act, which predates the Common Core standards. If the Common Core standards went away tomorrow, there would still be a testing requirement. 3. Children aren't standardized. However, there were standards before the Common Core standards. The No Child Left Behind Act requires standards. If the Common Core standards went away tomorrow, there would still be a requirement for standards.[/quote]
