[quote=Anonymous][quote]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[/quote] This all sounds so wonderful in theory, but in practice the teachers are only measured based on whether they provide the minimum baseline, so guess what happens in practice???? Nobody is rewarded for going beyond the standards, but they are punished for not meeting the standards. There is absolutely no incentive to go beyond. The "unintended consequences" are pretty big. Why in the heck do you think people are against this stuff? This is not a bunch of tinfoil. It's real and educational levels have not improved in the past 14 years. [/quote]
