And for the person that says anyone can just stamp common core on the bottom of a worksheet, what does that tell you about implementation? Is that what you want for the children of this nation?[/quote]

It is the job of the teacher and the local school to educated students so they meet the Common Core State Standards by the end of the year.

To do that they can use any materials they want -- or no materials.  THey can scratch letters out on sand tablets, they can use McGuffy Readers, they can buy XYZ workbooks from PDQ publishing company, they can use flashcards, they can use trade books with teacher created worksheets; they can have kids create dioramas, they can present all instruction in iambic pentameter -- HOW they teach the kids the knowledge and skills to meet the standards is up to them.  They know the kids, they know best what instruction the kids need in order to meet the requirements.  And very likely there will be may ways to help the kids reach those standards.

So implementation will be varied.   That's why the kids will all take the same test on the same standards at the end of the year -- so you can see who reached the standards and who did not.[/quote]
