Really? So, we don't need any standards at all even within a district because standards don't matter. We should let kids go on to the next grade and graduate even if they are only able to read at a 3rd grade level since standards don't matter. [/quote]

Well.  That is a different matter.  I have yet to see that we are not going to promote the kids who do not meet the standards.  Have you?

I have. I have read opponents of the Common Core standards say that on this very forum. The kids will fail! The kids will be held back! The kids will drop out of high school and never graduate!

And in fact there is a study that has estimated the effects of the stiffer requirements for high school graduation on the graduation rate and found that the drop-out rate will increase. Which then leads to the question of whether you think it's better for unqualified kids to graduate from high school even though they are unqualified, or for unqualified kids to drop out of high school because they are not qualified to graduate.[/quote]
