[quote=Anonymous]My problem is not with the Common Core content or even the way in which math and some of the other areas are taught. My problem is with the testing. Specifically, how much classroom time is dedicated to preparing for the test. We live in a Common Core state (not Virginia), and we are already seeing references to the testing in our DC's kindergarten class, even though the actual Common Core testing doesn't begin until third grade. My friends with fourth graders tell me that a full month of learning time was diluted/lost last spring while their kids' teachers did test preparation at the expense of actual learning of new material. This in a top district -- not a remedial area with low pass rates. [/quote]
