[quote=Anonymous][quote[b]]I tend to suspect [/b]that quite likely the case was that many of her readers were struggling because they had inappropriate, substandard reading education in the grades prior to entering her middle school. And, as has been pointed out several times already, there's nothing in Common Core that precludes schools from offering supplementary reading supports to help bring those students up to speed. If schools aren't providing adequate or appropriate supports, that's a failing of the school administration, not a failing of Common Core[/quote]

Suspicion based on ???  (the data).  Because data = validation of suspicions.

There will always be students who do not meet the standards and that won't necessarily be the result of "inappropriate substandard reading education".

Your logic is faulty.

Also, adding more reading class means taking away electives and fun and inspiring activities like art, music, etc.   Those activities do a lot for the overall well being of a child (but they certainly don't raise reading test scores which are so important).[/quote]
