OK, so now we're back to the idea that there shouldn't be any standards. [/quote]

Standards should be set locally.  [b]In my mind, the standards should be flexible according to where the child is when he starts the year.[/b]

PP, I don't think you understand what "standards" mean.  "Flexible" and "standards" are opposite.  I assume you have basic rules in your house to which everyone must follow - like no hitting, for example.  That is a baseline standard that everyone must meet.  Same logic applies to kids in school.  There is a baseline standard that *everyone* must meet.

For example, the baseline standard could be that *all* kids must read at minimum at a 10th grade level by the time they graduate.

Again, you can argue whether the CC standards are appropriate for each grade, but yes, we need some standards in school otherwise you could have kids that can't read or write because there is no baseline standard to which a child must meet.  [/quote]
