[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That means that you should make sure that your school district's approved materials are good, and/or that you should persuade your school district to allow teachers to develop and use their own materials. Or at least, that's what I think it means. What do you think it means?[/quote] I think it means we should fight Common Core because if we have CC, the administrators will be pressured to buy only CC materials for us. If we don't have CC, we have a fighting chance of having enough money to get other materials that work for our students. [/quote] That's complete and utter nonsense. Not all CC materials are cut from the same cloth, some are better than others - and there's also nothing that says your school district can't go above and beyond CC and supplement however you like. But the problem is more likely that your school district administrators don't have the good judgement to get good materials in the first place - something that would still be a problem whether you get rid of CC or not - and if you get rid of CC, then there is probably an EVEN GREATER likelihood that your school district administrators will be getting the wrong materials than with CC.[/quote]
