Follow the money. The reason NY feels they've been duped is because - they were.

New York State wasn't duped.   Their department of education decided what curriculum they wanted to have, and designed that curriculum.  That is how our systemn of education works -- each state designs its own curriculum.   THey chose something quite ambitious and it was far more than what was required by Common Core standards.[/quote]

Again, you are separating the standards from the curriculum. I would like you to specifically show me how the standards over-reach common core, how they are over ambitious. Use examples from the workbooks to prove your point, and show me how they go well beyond the common core standards. It's time for you to prove your rhetoric.

Please also provide examples of what you feel would be appropriate way to meet those standards alongside the over-reaching New York standards.

I'm asking you to do this because you seem to feel you know more than the educators and administrators in NY, and are calling them liars.

That's because there aren't any Common Core standards for social studies.
