 have seen no such evidence either. At best, all they did was post [b]2 or 3 examples of Common Core standards that they thought were "poorly written" [/b](just their own subjective opinion, at that) - which constitutes what, barely even a single-digit percentage of the corpus of standards? Do you quit playing baseball because of 2 or 3 strikes out of hundreds of pitches? No. Does an orange farmer throw out his entire crop of oranges because 2 or 3 oranges were bad? No. Didn't we just talk about grit, Louie Zamperini and not being quitters above? Did Louie Zamperini say "screw it" and throw himself to the sharks after not being rescued after 2 or 3 hours? No. Yet apparently these same posters want us to scrap EVERYTHING and throw it all to the sharks, even before the first test results are in, just because, in their own biased opinion, they think 2 or 3 standards are "poorly written."

There's either some seriously disingenuous rhetoric being thrown around by these folks, or some serious cognitive dissonance going on.[/quote]

LOL!  Far more than that--and that is just Kindergarten.
