[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I thought it had at least one major methodological flaw, and in any case its results were not that new standards won't improve education, but rather that the quality of state standards has no measurable effect on state test scores. [/quote]

I think if you cannot understand the implications of data, that posting here is hopeless.

Please post something that supports that new standards will change things--for the better.[/quote]

I understand the data, thanks. I'm wondering whether you do? The study explicitly says,

[i]"Are changes in the quality of [state] standards related to changes in [state] achievement [as measured by NAEP test results for reading and math]? Again, the answer is that they are not (correlation coefficient of 0.08)." [/i]

see p. 10 of the study, here: http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/newsletters/0216_brown_education_loveless.pdf

That doesn't say that new standards won't improve education. It says that the quality of state standards has no measurable effect on state test scores.

Or maybe you're talking about a different study? If so, could you please post a link to the study?

Also, again -- the discussion is not about whether the Common Core standards are bad. It is therefore your obligation (if you believe that the Common Core standards are bad) to support this assertion with logical arguments and with evidence. If somebody starts a thread about how the Common Core standards will change things for the better, then you can ask that person to support their assertion with  logical arguments and with evidence.[/quote]
