[quote=Anonymous] Common Core math is a disaster for kids with any type of language disability. I'm hearing it from parents on every message board I'm on. The problem is that it locks math behind a wall of language, even in Kindergarten. So children who would have learned to love math now cannot access it at all, even in the earliest grades. Common Core standards themselves are BAD because of their endless insisting on explaining and explaining when for many DOING math leads to understanding it. It's conscripted thinking: it wants you to think about math in only ONE way, and if you don't you fail -- even if you get the right answer. Five or 10 years from know, COmmon Core will be looked at as the biggest boondoggle in education. The roar in the country next fall when 70 percent of regular students and 95 percent of special education students don't pass the standardized testing is going to be huge. [/quote]
