For what it's worth, you = anybody who has said that people on the Common Core development committees were not qualified on grounds that they weren't current full-time classroom teachers. [/quote]

You=someone who thinks classroom teachers don't count.

No objection to people who are not currently in the classroom being on the committee.  However, to leave classroom teachers almost entirely off the committee (less than 4%) is wrong.  You present these teachers who taught years ago as the same as a current classroom teacher.  That's the problem.  NO balance on the committees--and there are a number who have no classroom experience.  No current early childhood teachers and almost no elementary teachers.

135 members is a lot of people.  Seems like they could have included at least one teacher from each grade level on math and ELA.   There are more on the committee who have never taught in the classroom than there are current teachers.  That is not balanced.

Again, it begs the question.  Who chose these members?  What was the criteria for selection?

You = someone who lies claiming people don't have experience when in fact they do.
You = someone who thinks classroom teachers don't count, if they have ever done anything in addition to teaching in a classroom.
You = someone who thinks classroom teachers are the *only* people with relevant experience
You = someone who has never been involved in standards development, yet who claims to know more than anyone about what the process should be and what the makeup of committees should be
You = someone who doesn't think there is any relevance to having experts on math and language, no relevance to have people who actually have a background in standards development, no relevance to having folks who know psychometrics and performance measures, no relevance to having professors who have actually published research on childhood development and educational topics, no relevance to having professors from education schools who have worked with and continue to work with hundreds of teachers, again you only seem to think the only valid input is from teachers.[/quote]
