9:11    You are spot on.  I am also a teacher and have seen this path several times before (I am 55 years old feeling very sad about what continues to happen).

The poster at 8:41 who said the anti CC people are a bunch of extreme right wingers is way off base.  None of the reasons he gives are reasons that many people are against the testing.  They are against it for a plain and simple reason:  it just doesn't help anyone at all.  [/quote]

But the tests aren't because of the Common Core standards. If the Common Core standards went away tomorrow, there would still be the tests. That's because the tests are required by the No Child Left Behind Act. It does not make sense to oppose the Common Core standards because of the testing requirements in NCLB.[/quote]

+1. I feel like the standards and the testing gets conflated and confused. I am all for the standards.  But, the Pearson curriculum designed to teach them sucks and the testing is a nightmare.  [/quote]

Pearson curriculum?  Pearson isn't the only company developing textbooks and materials around Common Core.  Not by a longshot.[/quote][/quote]
