The intent of the standards to be the learning goals for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Is that what you mean by "aspirational goal"?

I agree that it is theoretically possible to do a controlled study. What aim would you be trying to accomplish with this controlled study? If it turned out that the standards (K-2? K-6? K-12?) were developmentally appropriate, then what? If it turned out that some or all of the standards were not developmentally appropriate, then what? Which non-Common-Core standards in education have undergone testing via a controlled study to determine whether they are developmentally appropriate?[/quote]

Perhaps none, but there is the slim chance of showing that maybe our kids are capable of learning to and beyond these standards. This issue seems to be degenerating to one of "repeal", "repeal and replace", with no clear alternate plans. I agree that the way forward might be to work with them and empower teachers. As to the nefarious purposes of the testing companies, it was game over when the NGA decided to develop the CC in the first place. If a centralized, federal testing body is anathema, then there was no choice but to involve Peterson and the ilk.[/quote]
