[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, we can test this empirically, because the states already did all have their own sets of standards. How did that work out?  Fine.

Did the states have high-quality standards?  Yes, many had very appropriate standards.

Did they fix the standards when there were problems?  Yes, there has been a lot going on in education over the past 20 years or so.

And how much money did it cost the states to all develop their own sets of standards?  Not as much as it is costing to switch to CC.  Plus, that is already money spent so they don't have to spend it again.  [/quote]

If it worked out so fine when all of the states had their own sets of standards, how come the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers thought that it would be a good idea to develop a common set of standards?

Did all of the states (not just "many") have high-quality standards? Which states had high-quality standards, and which didn't?

Could you please give some examples of states fixing standards when there were problems?

How much, exactly, did it cost to switch to the Common Core standards? Not to mention that that is also already money spent.[/quote]
