[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember that common core encompasses more than just the children of two college/advanced degree families. There are tons of kids from less privileged backgrounds who absolutely have not had exposure enough to be able to do this. [/quote] Yes, exactly. It is Common Core. Not "this is the highest level of achievement we expect out of anyone." Common= everyone. Core=basic or minimum standard. OP, if you are concerned, the question you should ask at open houses is, "I understand that you are using Common Core as your standard. How do you assess and differentiate in the classroom, considering that students come to kindergarten with different levels of school readiness?"[/quote] I actuually think the k math standard reasonable and my son at 4 does know how to count to 100. My problem with the implementation of common core is that some schools think the common core is so rigorous, no one needs to learn more than that. [/quote]
