[quote=Anonymous]I call it like it is.

An idiot is an idiot.  There's no getting around that, hon.

Again, if you are FAMILIAR with CC standards, you understand how rigorous they are.  I work with the ELA standards (high school).  And whether you like it or not (or even believe me), I am developing curriculum for another school system.  Thus far, all my units have been approved and plans have been set for future trainings.

The CC standards focus on critical thinking and discourse.  Literacy is integrated throughout ALL content areas, and introducing non-fiction is now the norm for ALL content area teachers.

To question a decision WHEN you've done your research is one thing.  To question a decision w/o knowing much makes you look like an idiot.

And I've come full circle!

voila!

Enjoy your summer!

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Policies that don't group kids according to ability.  Ones that lets the top kids languish as they will do fine on tests anyway.  Bringing up the bottom to the exclusion of meeting the needs of everyone else.[/quote]

exactly where is the proof that this is happening?? I've yet to see any real evidence except for ancedotal comments.[/quote]

Hey citation monkey. Walk yourself over and sit in a classroom and see for yourself who is getting taught and who is not. 
We did last year while house searching. Do the school tours! Talk to parents who actually ask their kid what happened in school today.  Talk to parents that have to give their kids workbooks to do in class, on their own, while they wait for underperformers to pass/get proficient. At to all the area tutoring agencies on how much increased activity they are getting.

MoCo has been going downhill for awhile. No testing moratorium can cover it up. Starr wants the fed money, [b]hired Pearson to come up with a curriculum aimed at bottom performers and ESOL[/b], and taxes are going up more and more. [/quote]

Pearson came with Weast, idiot.

And to say that Common Core, which drives Curriculum 2.0, is dumbing down is ridiculous.  If you worked with CC standards (I have) and if you've written curriculum using CC (I have), you'd understand that these standards are very complex and rigorous.

But maybe they're too difficult for YOU to grasp?[/quote]

classy rebuttal and diction. exactly who I'd want allegedly writing my child's so-called curriculum. [/quote][/quote]
