I think it's important to point out that they are not "Common Core math word problems". They are word problems from curricula that are (or claim to be) aligned to the Common Core standards. There are bad curricula and good curricula aligned to the Common Core standards, just as there were bad curricula and good curricula before the Common Core standards.

+1000. There seem to be some persistent CC haters who wish to confuse the issue.

And there are the freaks who constantly jump to defend common core every chance they get. COMMON CORE SUCKS!!!![/quote]

Stating that CC is a set of standards isn't defending anything. It's a fact. You may want to start acquainting yourself with those little inconveniences called facts. Throwing internet tantrums with all caps proclaiming CC SUCKS convinces no one of anything other than your lunacy. You and other detractors continually fail in your attempts to discredit the standards because, quite simply, you don't know what you're talking about and you can't find anything substantially wrong with the standards. Even the hater poster who loves to post links from all the many people who hate CC (not so many) are unconvincing because their articles discuss teacher training, the impact of scores on teacher evaluation, standardized testing....everything but the standards themselves.

Give it up. The standards are solid. They are here to stay. They continue a culture of establishing standards that was expanded during NCLB, when "accountability" became the watchword. As such, we are living in a culture of our own creation.

Also, you're a hypocrite if you rail against CC and standards and have ever used test scores to judge whether a school was "good".[/quote]

Can you tell me, in detail, how those excellent standards translate to excellent results?  Otherwise, they are simply words in a page[/quote]
