I do not have an issue with standards.   I have an issue with how they are implemented for every child. No he main point of this topic is the impact on special needs kids who may learn differently.  No one has taken the standards and modified them to make them work with the many different disabilities and delays children may be dealing with. [/quote]

That is correct.   If you modify a standard to be different for different types of students, it is not longer a standard.[/quote]

So, basically a child like mine with receptive issues who is a smart kid in some areas is destined to fail [/quote]

I don't know what is meant by "receptive issues" but yes, if your child has a learning disability that makes him unable to meet grade level standards, by definition he is not working at the standard and is failing to meet them.   [/quote]

Then you clearly do not understand special needs and should not be commenting on the subject.  [/quote]

"Receptive issues" is a non specific phrase and could mean anything; could be caused by who knows what -- ADHD-inattentive, hearing loss, language delay, being an ELL.     If a child is having "issues" with understanding receptive language based on some of the above causes, there could well be specific and rapid remediation for the underlying issue, and that child should be expected to be working on grade level quickly with appropriate remediation.

If you mean, a child has a diagnosed receptive language disorder, then yes, that child may have difficulty working on grade level as long as working on grade level is being defined as using and understanding language.[/quote]

We have been in four years of intensive therapy. Bleaker let me know with all your wisdom what quick and easy remediation there is.   Receptive issues are not adhd, hearing loss or other things.   Those may have a component but not the primary issue.   My child can and does work above grade level if taught in a way he understands.  Putting him in remedial support services with kids who cannot read, write or do basic math because the common core makes no sense to him does more harm than good. [/quote]
