Common Core doesn't outline any route. It is a list of standards. The route that is used to meet the standards, aka implementation, is not dictated by the standards.

I find it hard to believe that so many allegedly intelligent people fail to grasp this simple concept.

Common Core outlines specific "critical thinking" in math. Look at the earlier discussion on this thread. Look at some of the samples in the news.

Yes, specific "critical thinking", like these second-grade math standards:

CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1 
 Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:

CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1.a 
 100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens — called a "hundred."

CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1.b 
 The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).

If you think that these standards are bad, then please explain why. If you think that these standards are ok, but there are other standards that are not ok, then please provide an example of those standards.

Oh, you're back!

First, these "standards" are not consistent.  Read them.  Some are measurable, some are not.[/quote]
