With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.

Two vague terms: 
 "text" and "key details."

Amateurish.

So, how would you rewrite this to be less vague, expert?

I guess the poster would prefer the old MD state standard:

Respond to questions and verify answers using illustration/text.

None of this "key detail" nonsense. Just "verify answers". (Which is vague)   [/quote]

The standards are all BS.  Teachers used to teach successfully without them.  The problem is in the assessments and the fact that people think the problem is lack of standards.  It is not lack of standards.  It is lack of readiness for school by some.

Your arguments are now officially all over the place.   You (or you plus some of the people) have now argued:

1. Common Core standards are bad because they are standards.  Standards need to be flexible.
2. Common Core standards are bad because they are too vague and teachers don't understand them.
3. Common Core standards are bad because teachers didn't write them.
4. Common Core standards aren't the problem - teachers used to teach without standards. The problem is the assessments which haven't been used yet.
5. The problem with the standards (that teachers didn't write) is teachers are assigning bad work based on the standards (wait, are these the same teachers who were going to write good standards?)
6. The Common Core standards are bad because they aren't any different from the old standards; you act as if these standards are something new, which they aren't; we have always taught this way.
