[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, the sore points with common core involve the data collection. It's similar with the recent census - all that's required by law is reporting how many people live in your home, and their ages (children or adult). Yet we get forms that we are told MUST be filled out asking the amount of our mortgage, amongst other invasive questions. When we standardize across a nation what children must learn, and test and test again to be sure they are learning it, we are taking all the creativity out of learning, and we are not responding to individual differences in children. In short, they learn what the standards dictate and to hell with anything else. You end up teaching to tests. The bribes teachers offer up to try and encourage kids to cram for SOLs is already ridiculous in VA. I don't consider that learning.
