You can argue against what the standards should be, but there is and should be some basic standards. [/quote]

Should the standards be the same for all?  That is my issue.  Kids are different.  And, these standards are confusing and inappropriate for very bright or very slow kids.

If the standards were not the same for all, they would not be standards.

Also, could you please give an example of a standard you find confusing? [/quote]

Oh, the questioner! Doesn't matter what we say -- you will find some BS way to say it's a crystal clear standard even when it's crap. [/quote]

PP, it is entirely possible that the standards could be crystal clear to MOST people, but that you yourself have trouble understanding them.   Frankly, you seem to have a lot of trouble just with the concept of a "standard".

Let me give you a piece of advice for future communication and posting about the Common Core State Standards.

Don't object to them because they are too hard, or too confusing.

Object in this manner:   "I do not believe there should be any state or local standards to education.   Students should be assessed at the start of the year, and teachers should decide what goals they have for their own students, and should teach as they wish.   There should not be any grade level expectations because each child starts at a different level and has different backgrounds and needs.   I therefore don't support the idea of any kind of standard.   Students should just advance at their own pace."

If you don't agree with the entire concept of having standards, then there's really no point in discussing, or arguing, about the content of the standards.[/quote]
