[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It wouldn't be a bad thing if more lawyers could actually do math.[/quote]

No, it wouldn't.  But how many more lawyers do we really need?  We need more scientists and engineers with passable language skills.  Superior language skills are not required for success in their fields, just as superior math skills are not required for success in law.[/quote]

Yes, we do need more scientists and engineers with passable language skills. I don't think that the Common Core standards interfere with this goal. (Nor do they encourage people to go to law school.)[/quote]

And if they all drop out because the language requirements made them feel like failures?  Or they simply couldn't pass such a language-heavy curriculum?

Just human collateral damage to the likes of you.[/quote]

I think it's quite unlikely that all future scientists and engineers are going to drop out because the Common Core ELA standards made them feel like failures or because they were unable to meet the Common Core ELA standards.[/quote]
