READ that page, it lists the numerous steps that were taken, the many organizations that were involved, the many many points of engagement, involvement and input..

And consider the source that told you there was no input and that it was all secret - far right wing propagandists like Heartland Institute, who are working with the exact same people who for years put out propaganda that tobacco smoking was perfectly safe.

So, have you read the names of the people on the committees and their bios?  I have.  Writers: no classroom teachers.  Work groups: one or two.

I still want to know why, if there were no classroom teachers, then the Common Core standards must be bad.

It's not as though the people who came up with the Common Core standards (with or without classroom teachers) made them up out of thin air. They're a synthesis. Are the standards that the Common Core standards are based on also bad? Were classroom teachers involved in writing the standards that the Common Core standards are based on?[/quote]
