Good schools and teachers evaluate what a child is "missing" or diagnose those missing elements as the child is going through the material.  Teachers constantly go back and reteach previous units so that students can move on.  It becomes very obvious when this is the reason that a child is not doing well (and it usually happens in courses like math where skills build on each other).  It does not happen in history or English so much (as you have given as your examples above).    Even if all schools were "in sync" and teaching exactly the same things at the same grade levels on the same days, there would be students who needed remediation because they had been out of school, had just come from another country, or just did not understand the material on the previous days or in the previous years when it was presented.  Common Core standards are not going to change any of this.  As you said, they are standards and not a curriculum.

You also state that you know this "for a fact", but then go on to say that it is from personal experience and from friends and relatives' experiences.   That does not sound like factual knowledge.  [/quote]
