[quote=Anonymous]Common Core Guinea Pig? I think expressions like that demonstrate ignorance of history. Kids have been "guinea pigs" for a whole host of different standards, texts, curricula, teaching methods, et cetera - for decades, long before Common Core. Only difference between then and now is that back then it was even less well thought out or coordinated. That's how kids ended up learning nothing but Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock in middle school every year in History no matter what grade. And even Common Core is not really all that new. Most of the components in Common Core came from prior standards that have been around for a long time. There's not really that much in it that hasn't already been in use for years in many school districts.[/quote]
