[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] We need to invest in good teachers, special education, teacher prep, smaller class sizes, etc so that teachers are able to bring students up to these standards. [/quote] No. The standards are not good. They stifle imagination and require robotic thinking. Let the teachers teach. [/quote] Citation, please... Where exactly does Common Core "require robotic thinking?" Which standards, specifically? And which standards, specifically "stifle imagination?"[/quote] Maybe this one? [i]CCSS.Math.Content.2.OA.B.2 Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.[/i] Only robots should have to memorize all sums of two one-digit numbers. People should be able to come up with their own answers! (I'm joking.)[/quote]
