[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Nonsense. There's absolutely NOTHING in Common Core that says you can't go above and beyond the standard. Common Core is a MINIMUM standard. It's the FLOOR. School districts and educators are still perfectly free to set whatever CEILING they like. [/quote] As long as these standards are tied to testing and evaluation of teachers (and they are, whether you like it or not), they will limit the education of kids. Teachers will necessarily concentrate on those borderline kids. [/quote] Then how do you account for all the kids that get into magnets/HGC? My DC got into HGC. We don't do a lot of supplementing at home - no tutors, afterschool whatevers. DC also has gotten a few ESs on the report card at HGC as well as when DC was in the home school. DC's teachers in 3rd grade challenged DC. Teachers were great at keeping DC interested. I haven't found DC's education limiting at all.[/quote]
