[quote=Anonymous][quote]I like having a national standard. It seems inefficient for all states to have their own standards with textbooks trying to relate to all these different states. Wish VA would get on board as well. Some states used to or still have to conform to multiple standards every year both county wide and state wide. People and teachers move all the time and it's annoying if one state teaches something one year and another state teaches the same subject a different year. Every day doesn't have to be prescribed though and there shouldn't be any reason kids can't be behind or ahead in the general standards. There have been standards for years where the accommodated kids who didn't work toward the middle. Friends in Damascus say their kids have no problem getting ahead or getting special ed support using common core. [/quote]

This is a diverse country with lots of different needs.  We don't need a national standard.  Each area has its own issues and should be able to address them as it wishes.[/quote]
