[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]All that supposed experience and yet you still haven't come up with any meaningful or robust specific, fact-based examples of how Common Core is "developmentally inappropriate..."

You seem to be suffering from some magical thinking that saying it over and over will somehow make it so.

LOL! You have resorted to personal attacks. Pretty clear you have lost the battle.

But PP's post was actually not a personal attack.[/quote]

How can saying that someone seems to be suffering from" magical thinking" not be a bit personal?  If it's not an attack, it's at least a pretty weird assumption.  The posters on here are trying to argue and, of course, they will say something isn't so in the course of the argument and calling that "magical thinking" is just plain weird.  [/quote]

Merely repeating the same thing over and over again without providing any actual backup or facts as has been done with the "developmentally inappropriate" comment is not "arguing" in any sense relative to meaningful or rational debate.  It's just "arguing" in the sense of shouting, thinking if you shout loudly enough and often enough that you will win the debate.  There's nothing weird about that.[/quote]
