By state? Why would people disagree over those issues by state? Are there states where it's appropriate to expect an on-grade-level third-grader to be able to understand a fraction as a number on the number line and be able to represent fractions on a number line diagram, and states where it isn't? Why? [/quote]

Absolutely!  However, a better example would be the Kindergarten standards.  I strongly disagree with those standards and so do many, many others.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that there states where it's appropriate to expect an on-grade-level third-grader to be able to understand a fraction as a number on the number line and be able to represent fractions on a number line diagram, and states where it isn't? If so, which states? And why?

Also, there are a lot of kindergarten standards. Are there any specific kindergarten standards you strongly disagree with? For example, do you strongly disagree with this kindergarten standard:

[i]CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1.a
Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page by page.[/I]

Or this one?

[i]CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1.c
Understand that words are separated by spaces in print.[/I]

Or do you just strongly disagree with the kindergarten standards in general, and never mind what the actual specific kindergarten standards are? [/quote]
