[quote=Anonymous][quote]Your big objection is that it should be a first-grade standard, not a kindergarten standard?[/quote] Actually, this is very important. The early grades are the ones that the CC authors should focus on getting right, if any. If you start off wrong, it's a problem. The gap widens as you go through the grades. You want to start in the right place at least. New teachers who are reading these standards will not know there is a problem (or think they need to follow what the standard says). The process matters because there is no "perfect" in this endeavor and there should be a mix of PhDs and those with real, practical experience making the standards. Otherwise, it's like the architect not listening to the problems that the construction workers are having in building to the design. Anyone who has ever built something knows that unforeseen things happen that need to be changed. [/quote]
