Here's the thread about kindergarten standards.  I suspect you were there.  However, enjoy![/quote]

Yes, I remember that one...  and as I recall, it fell apart for the anti-CC folks.  Their arguments were so stupid.  "OMG, kindergartners shouldn't have to know letters and vowel sounds, that's SOOO inappropriate!" :roll:

Such idiocy in that thread.  But I guess you were there too ;)[/quote]
You continually ignore posts like the article quoting Stotsky and Milgram. How do you explain away these comments by them saying the standards are seriously flawed.[/quote]

In the article (from "West Virginia's only business newspaper) quoting Stosky and Milgram, Stotsky focuses on the sausage-making. I am not interested in the sausage-making. I am interested in the sausage. And Milgram's criticism is that the math standards do not include "a proof-based approach to Euclidean geometry" in 10th grade. I haven't seen anybody on these threads argue that the Common Core standards are bad because they don't require students to do proofs in geometry.[/quote]
