It mandates ACCESS. It does not mandate mastery, unlike the Common Core, which does.

I've had a child in special education for 10 years. Common Core is what has made things impossible for him.  Previously, the IDEA paved the way for him to be in regular classrooms with a lesson plan at his learning level. It's the Common Core that took that away. My son and all his counterparts are living this. [/quote]

So your child has been in Special Education for 10 years, and still isn't working at grade level?  Up until last year your school was not using common core standards right?   So under the "easier" version, your child has been receiving remedial help in the grade level classroom, for 9 years, and STILL wasn't able to master the grade level objectives?

I feel this is a failure of the special ed process, and of forcing kids to work in the general education curriculum instead of providing the intensive help the need, earlier on, to develop the lagging skills that they will need in the later grades.
