Paper which includes information from studies on early childhood development and why the CC standards are inappropriate for early childhood grades.

If we mess up the foundation, the structure may topple.[/quote]

Great article!

It is clear that the writers should have started with how children learn and not how they can test them.  It is clear that they were seeking standards that they can measure through testing.  This is probably not possible at such a young age and they will have to accept that fact.  Obviously they don't want to accept that.  Children at those ages develop in vastly different ways and that has to be accepted as a fact of how humans develop. After reading this I am totally in agreement with the woman on here who says that the developmental aspects of early children were not considered when writing the standards.

I am not an early childhood educator, but I can see how this problem occurred.  It needs to be rectified or the standards will not work for the most important grades!  If we mess up in those grades, holy cow.  [/quote]
