[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I have taught students who are going through 9th grade for the third time (failed twice) AMA---Ask Me Anything.

I finally lost a senior this semester who was in my 9th grade inclusion class.

He felt no shame either . . .[/quote]

I've lost two this year.  Both are making a living . . . in the gangs.  [/quote]

ahh 
the Common Core Criminal Pathway[/quote]

Riiiiiiiiiight.  Blame Common Core for the dropouts THAT WERE ALREADY HAPPENING FOR DECADES.

You are so full of shit it's not even funny.[/quote]

another fucking moron

It was a joke.

No, the Common Core isn't for everyone b/c of the rigor embedded into EACH standard, which can be broken down into MULTIPLE student objectives.

But am I against STANDARDS?  no!  I've written entire frameworks using the 9-12 ELA standards.

Get over your BIG BAD CCSS self!

Standards are good, but not everyone understands them and not every kid will meet the benchmarks b/c some are too far behind.

So maybe there is a bit of truth to the Common Core Criminal Pathway after all.

Piss off.[/quote]

No, not every kid will meet the benchmarks and especially so if the school's pre-existing curriculum has been so lax that the kid won't have any pre-requisites.  But, you know what?  You FIX that.  You fix the curriculum to make sure the pre-requisites are in place, and you give the kids that are "too far behind" the remediation they need to succeed.

Instead you seem to want to just bitch and whine about change and just let the kids who are behind slide and the only thing you're upset about is that someone's rocking that boat.  You certainly aren't doing kids any favors.[/quote]
