bios of Common Core developers.  Amazing:  almost NO elementary experience on either group.  Most of those who had teaching experience had not taught in years and years.  Some had no teaching experience.[/quote]

That's just the first 24 names from a cast of hundreds.  Missing from that discussion are all of the members of the Math and English Feedback Groups, the Validation Committee, the National Policy Forum members, and then all of the external stakeholder groups like NEA, AFT and yet another cast of hundreds of professional educators and experts who reviewed the standard, modified the standard, and provided input and vetting.   Again, for the 98th time, Common Core was *not* "developed behind closed doors by a secretive handful of people from the testing industry who have no teaching experience" and it is disingenuous and dishonest to keep repeating that myth.
