Yes, there is an Everyday Math curriculum aligned to the Common Core standards.[/quote]

There were plenty of PPs who said because I can figure it out it's just fine and one even said OP's child just must not be that good in math.  Sorry to sound shrill, but poor writing in children's texts really bothers me.  Such a disservice to them.

Also on the other common core thread most of the posters thought having a very language heavy math curriculum was a good thing and [b]if kids with language problems were at at a disadvantage that just means the school should provide more supports[/b]. As if. They somewhat ridiculously divided the world into verbal and nonverbal kids and obtusely overlooked, despite multiple posts, that verbal children on the low range of normal have difficulties with language-ladened math curriculums.[/quote]

Do you disagree with this?[/quote]

No not at all.  I followed it with "As if."  [b]Spend some time on the SN boards to see how easy it is to get supports for the really language impaired and nonverbal.  Then you would understand that low normal language kids wouldn't have a chance in million at getting any support at all.[/b]
Clear language serves everyone best.  [/quote]

And that's the problem. Not the Common Core standards.

Also, everybody is in favor of clear language (unless their deliberate purpose is obfuscation, which does happen sometimes). It's just that not everybody agrees on what clear language is.[/quote]
