[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would say the CC is mostly dead because it 1) gives the feds too much control over the standards and related curriculum and testing; 2) narrows the curriculum; and 3) because people are pretty sick of standardized testing that is not meaningful to them. That's pretty much it in a nutshell. [/quote] 1.) The feds didn't develop the standards, curriculum or testing - the STATES did. 2.) Neither CC nor NCLB narrow the curriculum - they only provide a minimum baseline and give teachers and school districts full latitude to go as broad and far beyond the standard as they would like, provided they meet the minimum standard and 3.) is just plain idiotic.[/quote]
