[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]How about this one?

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.K.1.a Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others and taking turns speaking about the topics and texts under discussion).[/quote]

This is a very interesting standard.  It is basically behavioral and not academic.  Apparently the Common Core is not all academic.  Kids from chaotic homes where people operate by yelling at each other think of that as the "norm".  They are very uncomfortable with following agreed-upon rules as that is not how life works in their home.  Those kids may take much, much longer (if ever) to achieve this standard.  Kids from harmonious, orderly homes already have achieved this.  I have kids in high school who have not achieved this standard.  I'm not kidding you.  And how do you test this standard?  And, what if a student achieves this on the "test", but then backtracks on it (as often happens)?  If this is never "tested", what does it mean?  Is a child not allowed to progress to the next grade level or graduate from high school if he/she has not met this standard?  We have kids in high school who refuse to do this.  We also suspend kids for behavioral misconduct.  Is CC going to address that kind of concern?  What is CC---academic or behavioral standards?  [/quote]

187 words, none of which answer the question. Here is the question: Is this standard developmentally inappropriate, and if so why?
