[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP above has been drinking too much of the MCPS Kool Aid.  Common Core is just BS thought of by administrators, test makers, and a publisher that are making big money for this NEW curriculum.  It was a way to justify their salaries and fees.

NEW doesn't mean better and the funds could have been spent more prudently elsewhere.  For example, use the education dollars and time spent on actually teaching the kids, not using them as guinea pigs for your own paid research project.  Use funds to pay teachers a decent salary so the best are attracted to the field and stay in the classroom.  Use funds to reduce class sizes so student to improve instruction and learning.

Do the Common Core standards (standards; not curriculum) prevent anybody from paying teachers more and reducing class sizes?

And again, which Common Core standards, specifically, do you disagree with? Or do you disagree with the idea of common standards? Or standards, period?[/quote]
