[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Perhaps you should take a look at the actual standards? Here they are: [/quote]

A PP explained the problem well.  Common Core standards are part of the problem.  [b]Having to "explain" everything gets tiresome and is not always effective.[/b]  Suggest you spend some time in an elementary classroom.  It's about kids--not standards.  You obviously don't get that.  Go look at the list of people who were on the teams.  Hardly anyone from a classroom: Instructional coaches; state directors; consultants; professors; authors; executive directors; policy consultants; advisors; administrators; principals; curriculum coordinators; research scientists; assessment managers; supervisors; facilitators; deans; etc.  A very small number of teachers compared to the rest.  And, you claim these were developed by teachers?  Not sure if there are any early childhood teachers, and certainly almost no elementary teachers. 
The committees are listed on the Common Core website.  I've begun researching the backgrounds of some of them and it is worse than I thought.  These people are not the best qualified.  My question is, who selected them?

Who has to work with these standards and develop teaching materials to go with them?  Teachers.  Who has to test these kids? Teachers.  Who is NOT making money off of these standards? Teachers.

But the Common Core standards do not require everybody to "explain" everything.[/quote]
