It's not healthy to arrive at a conclusion and then ignore evidence and facts. That's precisely what climate deniers do. They arrive at a conclusion ahead of the facts, and then ignore or try to deny any evidence and facts that contradict their conclusion - while refusing to provide any evidence of their own position.

What we are dealing with is an anti-Common-Core poster who keeps resorting to [b]fallacious rhetorical devices [/b]rather than presenting actual facts and logic. [/quote]

No.  I think I am the poster you are referring to.  You refuse to see the truth.

You have only to look at the numbers.

How many committee members? 135 total math and ELA work and feedback groups
How many classroom teachers? A handful--and they are almost all high school teachers. 3 elementary --at most.
How many people with no classroom experience? More of them than those with current classroom experience.

Now, once more, that teacher with 30 years of experience (the one you said I demeaned or something)was teaching in a "select admission" high school.  Hardly someone who can relate to the teacher in an average high school.  Nevertheless, it is okay for her to be on the committee--if it were balanced by other teachers.  It was not.

You mention the man from ACHIEVE as being an experienced classroom teacher.  After a little research, it was easy to determine that the experience was for a few years many years ago.  Then he went into administration and a lengthy career as a consultant.  Perhaps, he brings something to the table--but he brings limited experience from the classroom.  He certainly does not understand the day to day challenge of current teachers.

I am still waiting for you to post the teachers from the early years.
