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]

I am neither the copy editor not the early childhood educator.  However, I can see that both of them have thought deeply about this issue.  Their statements are not incoherent nor based on "nitpicky idiocy".   A lot of what they are saying is resonating with me.

What's there to "resonate?"  All they have ever posted is factless opinion.  They say the standards are "bad" but provide zero tangible or credible basis or substance for saying so.  They say the standards are "developmentally inappropriate" yet can't seem to post any data, any studies, any analyses, any criteria to back those claims up.  And worst of all, they now claim to be "experts" - sorry, but REAL experts would actually have those facts, data and concrete criteria at their fingertips.  As I see it there's nothing but a couple of fraudulent sock puppets here, desperately trying to pretend "there's a rising storm."[/quote]
