[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] This argument never makes sense to me. If the kids are starting school without number sense, then pushing them ahead is not going to get them to meet the standards. [/quote] Exactly. And, the elephant in the room is that if you bring this up you are accused of the "bigotry of low expectations." [/quote] Exactly what? The point is, given the choice between 1. Teaching the children what they really need (which won't get them to meet the standards) 2. Pushing the children ahead (which won't get them to meet the standards) it doesn't make any sense to push the children ahead. Either way, they won't meet the standards. So there is no rational reason for teachers to push them ahead or for administrators to require teachers to push them ahead. The Common Core standards do not require children to be taught at grade level, regardless of where the children actually are, and rational administrators will not require it either.[/quote]
