[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] How are Singapore's laws about gum-chewing (etc.) relevant to whether or not it's appropriate to (for example) expect children to be able to understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem by the end of first grade? [/quote] Now, let me see. Which teacher has an easier job? Those in Singapore, where kids are strongly disciplined-or here? Anyway, CC is NOT Singapore math. [/quote] What does "strongly disciplined" have to do with developmental appropriateness? And agreed, the Common Core standards are not Singapore Math. (For one thing, the Common Core standards are standards, whereas Singapore Math is a curriculum.) That is also not relevant. The question is whether it is valid to say that the Common Core standards are not developmentally appropriate, given that Singapore Math expected students at the same age to be able to do the same things, and nobody has yet (to my knowledge) said that they were not able to?[/quote]
