[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If NCLB is the problem, why are you wasting your time attacking the Common Core standards, instead of fighting to get NCLB changed? (Assuming that you are attacking the Common Core standards; but maybe you're not.)[/quote] I am attacking the rush to test based on these CC standards. The standards could be okay if districts had time to work with them and figure out how to align the curriculum with the standards. This takes time when any new standards are put in. The standardized testing is premature. The standards may also need to be refined after piloting by the districts. Some states have had no time to do that. Doing this from the top down with no consideration of the implementation glitches (and there are always those) is just shortsighted. [/quote] So you think it would be better if the states kept testing based on curricula they no longer use?[/quote]
