[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. This is why so many parents are dissatisfied.[/quote]
Really, because there is a zillion long thread about how it is too hard and forcing first graders and kindergarteners to hate school and to drop out and become meth heads.
My god, people.
I cannot keep things straight. There are post bitching that common core is too hard and now a post about how it's too simple.

This all leads me to believe that if you are against it, you are against it and are going to find something to bitch about without really looking at it.

Yes, I also can't keep up. To go by what I read on DCUM, the Common Core standards are

1. too hard 
2. too easy

I'm so confused.[/quote]

DCUM is not a single person or a point of view. Some posters think CC standards are too hard, others that they are too easy. Still others that they are fine. I am not sure why is this getting you confused.[/quote]

Because the people who think they're too easy and the people who think they're too hard can't both be right. And because the posts on DCUM on the Common Core always go something like this:

PP#1:  Man, I sure do hate the Common Core.
PP#2:  No kidding. Can you believe how dumbed-down those standards are? Six-month-olds in [insert non-US country here] can do the things the Common Core has 8th graders doing!
PP#3   Yes, I agree. Those standards are way too hard! Children are vomiting in the aisles!

They're not actually agreeing with each other...[/quote]
