[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has it occurred to anyone on this thread that those of us with children who have LDs already have enough of an uphill battle on our hands.  Introducing a new set of  "Not-well thought-out, Not-well-executed, Exclusionary Standards"  - and by Exclusionary I mean that the standards do not take into account that many of our kids are poor critical thinkers - for the time being that is - and introducing THAT requirement as part of the math curricuulum is a crime! The ones who do not understand this are the ones who's kids are floating through school without any major or even minor hiccups.

These standards are SEGREGATING our children even more than they already are!! Yes - SEGREGATION, I said it!! [/quote]

Common Core doesn't "exclude" and it does in fact take the lack of critical thinking - in fact, CC places a pretty big emphasis on teaching students critical thinking and analytical skills and helping students develop those skills -

Bull Fucking SHIT!  This is what is SUPPOSED to happen but its not happening.  Just because something is written does not make it so! And you're completely ignoring the fact that many of these kids with weak critical thinking skills are older, they are not in 1st or 2nd grade thus having the opportunity to have these fancy new standards ingrained in them.  They are trying to force these kids to drop everything that they know....just erase it, forget what and how things had been taught to them for the past 6 yrs. This is wrong, nothing you say, and certainly nothing coming from anything ending in DOT ORG will change my mind.  I am on the front lines of this honey - most likely YOU are not. [/quote]
