Also, if teachers are required to teach only the grade-level curriculum and nothing but the grade-level curriculum, regardless of where the actual students are, that's a real problem. But it's a problem with the school administrators. The Common Core standards do not require this. [/quote]

Then, why are they written per grade level?

[/quote]

Because they are grade-level standards. Grade-level standards mean -- this is what students at this grade should be able to do, to be at grade-level.[/quote]

Would the critics care to cite for us anything from the official and authoritative Common Core language that prohibits schools from providing remedial math and english coursework, i.e. extra math and english labs to bring up the kids who are behind grade level?  Because I certainly have not seen any such prohibition.  And given there isn't, you can't legitimately go around saying schools are locked in with no options.  And, in fact, many schools do exactly that, so the anti-CCers are just plain wrong on that one.[/quote]
