[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]CC stresses critical thinking, [/quote]

That's what they would like for you to think.  Here is a clue:  when you have kids doing things for which they are not developmentally ready, it stifles critical thinking.  Just sayin.......[/quote]

In MCPS, how are so many Ks getting Ps and ESs if they are not developmentally ready for the curriculum that MCPS uses?   In MCPS, the goal for the outgoing Ks is a level 4, but many schools in MCPS have an unstated level 6, and many, if not most, of the kids are well beyond this level by the time they finish K.

So, if the 2.0 curriculum (which is based on CC standards) is so developmentally inappropriate for Ks, how do so many kids read at such a high level and manage to get P/ESs on their report cards?   There are plenty, I'm sure, that get I/Ns, too, but if the standards were so inappropriate for Ks, then how is it that so many of them are able to meet those standards?[/quote]

Ah, PP -- but remember which forum you're on. Those very same standards that are way too easy on the Maryland Public Schools forum are impossibly, inappropriately difficult on the Schools and Education General Discussion forum.[/quote]
