[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Not "all" but certainly *most* are. They are the ones putting out the majority of the disinformation, and are likely not even teachers or closely involved in school, because they seem to frequently confuse and conflate NCLB and Common Core, not to mention continually mistakenly suggesting they were Obama initiatives, or mistakenly confusing themselves on what's state vs. federal vs. local. And let's not even get into the anti-CC idiocy floating around out there suggesting that CC "promotes Islam" and other nonsense.  - having those folks out there is the biggest discredit to the anti-CC community.

The wackos are a very small extreme group.  The pro people like to point them out.  Most of the anti people have well thought out positions.

The "well thought out positions" seem to be lacking in even the most basic of things, like being able to answer, cogently, which specific standards are problematic, by what criteria, and by what specific observational evidence, along with delving into whether the standard is problematic because the standard is actually problematic, or whether it's because your screwed the pooch on meeting the foundational requirements that were a prerequisite to kids being able to build upon it in the subsequent year - for example, expecting kids to do long division in an appropriate grade but being unable to do so because the prior grades let addition and subtraction slide?[/quote]
