Take a look at the test results in NY and Kentucky. Kentucky has been teaching CCSS for 4 years, and testing for three. Looks like CC is making little headway in improving students' learning.

[b]Note that in high school only 55% of all of their students could pass the CCSS reading test and fewer than 40% could pass the CCSS math test[/b]. Among their minority, ESL and low income students only about 40% could pass their CCSS reading test and 27% could pass their math test!  And the results in Kentucky are not unlike the results found in New York, the other state that has CCSS test results of two or more years available. Analyze New York's results here. Kentucky here.

Again, that doesn't demonstrate that the Common Core State Standards are bad. Nobody ever said that they would fix every problem in education.

In any case, didn't you (or somebody) just tell me that the cut scores were arbitrarily and deliberately set so that most students would fail?[/quote]
