[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many reasons to oppose Common core.  If you support it --just because people you disagree with politically oppose it--that is not a very good reason.

I oppose it because a number of the standards in Kindergarten and first.  Ii find it disturbing that there were no early childhood teachers on the committee and I question the process.  CC is doubling down on pushing too many academics in K. That is not political.

It seems to me that some people support CC simply because Tea Party members are against it.  There have been plenty of comments on this thread against CC that have nothing to do with politics.  Any time those comments come up, the pro CC poster returns to politics.  If you will notice, there were a couple of standards posted recently that were pretty vague and ambiguous.  So, we go back to politics.

The reasons you cite are all talking points which have been addressed a hundred times over in these threads, but which are nonetheless being pushed for a variety of reasons, some of which are just to give cover for the politics.  I have to wonder about your own motivations for still clinging to those talking points even as weak, frail and purely opinion based as they are, for example "vague and ambiguous" given the rest of us understood them just fine.

Meanwhile that still does not solve the problem you have with being in the same boat with the nutty folks who oppose Common Core because they think it's going to turn their kids into gay Muslims.[/quote]
