This is my main complaint with CC. We could have saved a hell of a lot of money and frustration just adopting the Singapore curriculum and using leftover funds to retrain teachers and set higher expectations at the teacher training level. Of course, that wouldn't look good.[/quote]

Common Core isn't a curriculum.   How schools teacher to the standards is up to schools.  Montgomery County Public Schools wants to have a math 2.0 curriculum, whatever it is?   That's their decision.  They certainly could adopt Singapore Math Curricula instead.   Both curricula could be used to teach to the Common Core standards.

Nationwide, no one has adopted a Common Curriculum.   I think that is actually the problem.  I think it would be great if the entire US (or at least those states involved in Common Core, agreeing to common standards) actually adopted a common curriculum for math, the Singapore Math curriculum.  But hell it was hard enough getting states just to agree to standards.   Getting them to agree on one curriculum?  Will never ever ever happen.[/quote]
