[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Is your problem that the standards are bad because classroom teachers were not involved in their development?

I do think that is a part of the problem.  It is not THE problem.  I would think that anyone in the education field would have a problem with front line teachers being left out of the process.[/quote]

I would actually respect your argument, if you said something like this:

[quote]
The Common Core standards were developed without the input of practicing teachers.    This is a problem, because as a result, standards X, Y and Z were developed.   Standard X (count to X) is an inappropriate standard for K students, as many K teachers know.   No matter what curriculum or methods are chosen, the vast majority of children are not developmentally able to count to X until they are in 3rd grade.[/quote]

That's how you make an argument.   You don't just pose questions (how many teachers....)  You explain what you oppose, and why having teachers would have made a difference.[/quote]
