I have actual evidence. You do not. [/quote]

You really do not understand the difference between an "expert" who taught in a classroom for three years many years ago and a teacher who is required to use the standards?  Really? You think that pointing that out is discrediting that person?

My argument is that there were almost no classroom teachers on the committee.  It is a valid argument.  Not once have you proved it wrong.  There were 135 members.  It does not trouble you at all that there were not any early childhood teachers on the committees?  Not one?
It does not trouble you that there were less than five elementary teachers?  Maybe, only three?

And, no, teaching twenty years ago is not the same as using the standards in the classroom today.  Much of the experience that you tout was prior to NCLB.  These teachers have never had the pressure of testing along with the standards.  Do you really not get that?

I would have no problem with these "experts" if they were balanced by real world teachers.  The committees were not balanced.  You can look at the lists and figure that out.

It doesn't particularly trouble me given that Common Core Elementary math standards align pretty extensively with most state SOLs for Elementary.

Just because you think the process was flawed doesn't mean the product is flawed.  A.) It's only your opinion that the process was flawed, and you've willfully ignored all of the information out there that refutes your notion that the development committee came up with the standards in a vacuum with zero input and that there was zero vetting - and B.) it's a logical fallacy to assume the product must be flawed even if the process were flawed.  It's not necessarily a valid conclusion to make.[/quote]
