4.) As for the vetting - again, it has repeatedly been shown that a.) the standards were *not* developed in a vacuum - the vast majority of them were adapted from pre-existing state SOLs which were developed by prior panels of experts and which were already previously vetted and which have already been in production and in classrooms for years and b.) the standards compiled by the CC development committee did *not* just go straight from a closed room of development committee members into classrooms, that there were several rounds of review and comment during the development phase, and then there was a separate validation phase involving a separate set of experts, and then additional rounds of review and comment. To say there was "no" vetting is absolutely, [b]undisputably [/b]false. [/quote]

And, how do we know this?  It is from the Common Core website.  When did the committees meet?  How did they operate?  Did all math members work on all math standards?  Were the members paid?  If so, how much?

Where are the published comments?  Did the committees meet again to rewrite the standards after the comment period?  How did they vet the standards?

If it is "indisputable" that they were vetted, why don't the developers share the results?

No, there are many articles out there talking about the process, for example all of the unions that were involved in development also talked about the development process, and there are several separate reports out there which compare CC standards to state SOLs which clearly show all of the parallels between CC and existing standards, and which demonstrate the standards did not come out of a vacuum.  Interestingly the comparisons also show significant correlation and consensus on standards across MULTIPLE states, whose standards were all independently developed.  Most states already had some version of what is in the Common Core elementary math standard as their SOL.

Meanwhile in there you also put a faulty premise that one cannot believe anything published on the Common Core website.[/quote]
