[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The issue is not the standards. [/quote] If the standards are so good, why are teachers having so much trouble teaching to them and testing them? Why are standards written by so-called "experts" in their ivory towers such a good thing?[/quote] I'm a teacher and I'm not having trouble teaching Common Core standards. They are better than the ones I used to have to use (MD State "voluntary" curriculum) as I have posted earlier. Which, by the way, were also written by so called "experts" in ivory towers. [/quote] For average kids, they are fine. I am assuming you are not a special needs teacher and someone else deals with any child who cannot minimally achieve. [/quote] I'm an ESOL teacher. About 25% of my students also have IEPs. [/quote]
