[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that someone who claims to have "advanced degrees in Early Childhood education and years of REAL classroom experience" can't seem to come up with any coherent explanation with SPECIFICS of exactly why the standards are "bad" and "developmentally appropriate"

And interesting that someone who claims to be a copy editor can't seem to come up with any coherent explanation of their position either, other than just vague generalities of "bad" based on some nitpicky idiocy and their own intentional obtuseness....

Not to mention that either of them just come across as utterly clueless, whether speaking on standards, NCLB, testing, copy editing or education.[/quote]

Copy editor here. Stop embarrassing yourself. You are just unhinged in your support over these UNPROVEN standards.  Meanwhile, all across the country, parents are rising up and taking action against these standards and the testing that comes with them because of NCLB.

There have been multiple news stories posted on the opt outs, the disagreement over the standards and their developmental appropriateness and the personal experiences of parents, teachers and students.

It's not two people -- it's a rising storm.
