No! Not "every class the same!" You still don't GET IT. All we are talking about is a MINIMUM CORE SET OF ITEMS. All else is totally open to be done however schools and teachers like. They can teach to different needs, use different methods, supplement with whatever they like. Common Core are not exclusive or proscriptive no matter how many times you try saying it. Any limits that are being put on teaching are happening LOCALLY. [/quote]

And, YOU don't get it. What do you plan to do with kids who don't meet the minimum standards?  If you push them ahead (which is required with the testing.  The kids are tested on the grade level they are in), they will be missing the skills they need to move forward.  If you teach them where they are, the teacher could lose her job.  This is what is not addressed with all the testing and standards.  NO one has addressed the problem

The kids who are already doing well will continue to do well. Some probably will not go as fast as they could because so much emphasis is placed on the testing.  The real problem which this whole program was "designed' to fix will harm the low achievers more than ever.  Teachers will push them to try to pass a test for which they are not ready.  Lose, Lose.

I can only truly speak to the K-2 standards.  They are a mess.

No, you still don't get it and you still continue to advance strawmen and red herrings.

What you do with the kids who don't meet minimum standards is get them the help to get caught up, or identify a learning disability if one exists and find a way to help them as best as possible, same as always.  Nobody ever said to just "push" and pretend that kid doesn't have a problem.[/quote]
