There were standards in education before the Common Core standards. Getting rid of the Common Core standards will not get rid of standards in education. You are arguing against the existence of any standards in education. [/quote]

Earlier standards were not as convoluted as these.  Neither did they require so many hours of testing.  Teaching is losing out to testing.

Common Core standards are hardly convoluted.   They are detailed and straightforward.[/quote]

Not too the teachers I've talked to. There are also too many of them. It's not "deeper" -- it's shallow and poorly paced for many students -- and yes, there are specific instructions telling you what to teach when. [/quote]

Not according to the teachers I've spoken to.   No, there aren't specific instructions in the Common Core State Standards telling you what to teach when.   There are standards that are expected by the end of each grade level.    There are no instructions to teach this in January, this in February.   That comes in your school's curriculum, if it has one; or in the curriculum of your state (for example NY state has a curriculum online called something like Engage NY).  The standards themselves aren't a curriculum and don't tell teachers how to teach or when to teach it -- just the standards for the end of the year at each grade level.[/quote]
