[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People have already talked about various standards on other threads (in detail).    [/quote]

No, they haven't. They really haven't. As I recall, the opponents of the Common Core standards have provided ONE standard to support the assertion of developmental inappropriateness, namely this one:

CCSS.Math.Content.K.NBT.A.1
Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.

with no explanation about how and why it's DEVELOPMENTALLY inappropriate.

For the sake of argument, let's say that this standard actually is developmentally inappropriate. Does it make sense to throw out the entire Common Core standards because one kindergarten math standard is developmentally inappropriate? In fact, let's go further (again for the sake of argument) and say that every kindergarten standard is developmentally inappropriate. Does it make sense to throw out the entire Common Core standards because the standards for kindergarten are developmentally inappropriate?[/quote]

Yes. They are rotten from top to bottom. [/quote]

You've barely even been able to demonstrate that even ONE is "rotten" let alone "top to bottom" :roll:

You need to either produce something solid to back up these accusations or STOP.[/quote]
