[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course better standards are not enough. Nobody ever sad that the Common Core standards, all by themselves, would solve all problems in US education. And of course curriculum is important, given that the standards are only standards; the curriculum is how you get the students to meet the standards.

So what crow is it that I'm supposed to be eating?

Also, congratulations on the selective cut-and-paste and bolding. The blog post you linked to is actually quite interesting, and it does not support your anti-Common Core contentions.[/quote]

Over and over again we've heard, they are just standards, they're not curriculum, and the tests won't be a driver at all at what kids learn -- instead, teachers can use all the Pintrest ideas!

Turns out that was a big load of shit, just like we all knew who aren't suckers.

Correct. They are just standards. They are not curriculum. Just as the blog post says.

And where did anybody say that the tests wouldn't be a driver at all in what kids learn? The tests are supposed to measure whether the students meet the standards. If you're teaching to meet the standards, and the test accurately measures whether the students meet the standards, then by definition you're also teaching to the test.[/quote]

Exactly. I'm not getting the comment about eating crow.  [/quote]
