And that is sad, but that shouldn't mean a curriculum should be set to the lowest common denominator. [/quote]

No.  Teachers should be allowed to teach EACH child at the appropriate level.  I did it years ago in K and first, and teachers could do it now were they allowed to do so.

If teachers are teaching all children as if they were neurotypical children working at grade level, that is a problem. But it's not a problem with the standards -- unless you think that there should be no such thing as grade level.[/quote]

[b]Less than 100 people == most of them not qualified -- decided what the grade level standards should be.[/b] That's a problem right there.

I hope we can sue them all personally when their terrible experiment blows up. [/quote]

What do you think is wrong with the grade-level standards? Are they too demanding? Are they not demanding enough? Are some too demanding and some not demanding enough? Can you give some examples of standards that you think are at the wrong grade level? Or are you just objecting to the grade-level standards on grounds that the people who came up with them were not qualified, in your opinion?[/quote]
