[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, irrational anger. Must be a lot at stake here for somebody or some group of bodied. Hmmmmm[/quote]

What's irrational is having posters repeating over and over that only one mathematician evaluated the Common Core math standard, when in fact a half dozen names were presented of mathematicians who were directly involved in developing the standard, along with the fact that hundreds of math teachers from NCTM were involved in vetting, reviewing and providing feedback on the standards.

It does tend to make people angry when posters keep repeating the same nonsense over and over again even though it's already been proven to be false.

Facts have been presented, which make the opinions irrelevant and meaningless.  The debate ends there.[/quote]

I agree. I could care less about the test one way or the other, but it drives me nuts when people insist the world is flat after they've sailed around it and seen the photo from space (especially when they are the type to claim the photo and sailing trip were an elaborate hoax). But there really is nothing to be done about such people. You could put them in the room with the mathematicians and have those folks swear under oath that they evaluated it, etc., but some people will still refuse to believe them and will irrationally claim that they were paid to lie, etc. Let it go.[/quote]
