That's right. But he was PROGRESSING, slowly, every year. Before Common Core kicked in full blast two years ago, he was two years behind his grade level. Under Common Core he is now REGRESSING. He is now 5 years behind his grade level.

You are one ugly person. My son has a genetic disability that causes his learning disabilities. He has been receiving help since he was 2 years old. [/quote]

So he's 12 years old now, old enough to be in 7th grade.  Two years ago in 5th grade, he was working at a 3rd grade level. ("2 years behind").  Now in 7th grade, he is working at a 2nd grade level, due to being required to meet Common Core standards in grades 5 and 6?[/quote]

That's right. And I know scores of other parents who tell the exact same story.  Because of the lack of scaffolding in Common Core, there was nothing to support the leap. So he was expected, with his 2nd grade reading skills, to automatically be reading 6th grade texts which are now more like 8th grade texts (because CCS also jumped up the reading levels overnight.) It's a fucking disaster.[/quote]
