[quote=Anonymous]Diane Ravitch and Jonathan Turley "black helicopterists"? I don't think so. Turley quoted Ravitch saying "They (CC standards) were developed by an organization called Achieve and the National Governors Association, both of which were generously funded by the Gates Foundation. There was minimal public engagement in the development of the Common Core. Their creation was neither grassroots nor did it emanate from the states." from: http://jonathanturley.org/2013/11/24/rotten-to-the-common-core-on-the-subject-of-education-standards-arne-duncan-white-suburban-momsand-badss-teachers/ Obviously, there are many, many grey areas to CC, particularly its emphasis on testing and teaching to the test. Nuanced debate should go beyond ad hominem attacks.[/quote]
