I'm not posting links to teacher input to the Common Core standards because I have already posted them multiple times and I have had enough. What is your reason for not posting evidence to support your claim? [/quote]

LOL!  You keep posting the common core website which insists that teachers were involved.  Oddly, there are not any teachers on the list of developers.  Two are on the list of the workgroups.  That's it.

More than two on the list you are working off of do have teaching experience, and in fact, several of them taught K-12 teachers how to teach, and several of them know more about childhood development and pedagogy than any classroom teacher does.

Plus I think you only referenced two of the workgroups - there were a lot more people than that involved, literally a cast of hundreds.  You didn't even begin to scratch the surface of their backgrounds, experience, education, et cetera.

And...  to add to that, what about the workgroups *prior* to Common Core, who actually did most of the hard work in standards development?  Remember, probably 80% of Common Core was adapted from pre-existing state standards.  You didn't account for all of the folks who developed those state standards, either.

Sorry, but your attempt at propagating a narrative that the standards were developed behind locked doors with no teachers involved really does not carry any water whatsoever.
