[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember that common core encompasses more than just the children of two college/advanced degree families. There are tons of kids from less privileged backgrounds who absolutely have not had exposure enough to be able to do this.  [/quote]

People absolutely cannot remember this. They think every kid out there has the same advantages as their little darlings and therefore the schools should cater exclusively to their advanced Einsteins.

You know, instead of accepting that the public schools are geared toward educational plurality and actually thrive best under that model.[/quote]

So what are you saying? That we should dumb things down and not meet the needs of every kid and challenge them appropriately in separate classroom if need be?

My kid was counting to 100 at 2 years. It is not rocket science and there are many fun ways to engage and teach kids.[/quote]

I'm not the PP. But I'm guessing that the PP was saying that the Common Core standards are the common, core standards. "Common" meaning: for everybody. And "core" meaning: essential. If there is a Common Core person saying that all kids in school should learn only what's in the Common Core standards AND NOT ONE NANOMETER MORE!!1!!!!1!!!!, I haven't heard it.

Congratulations on your kid who could count to 100 at 2. [/quote]
