[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]"it's too much to expect young kids to think critically" - in other words, let's not expect too much thinking from our kids. The CC standards for K-2 for critical thinking is designed for kids in that age group. My 6 yr old DC can meet the standards designed for a 1st grader. Some of it is hard for DC, so we are working on it. But I think it's great that DC is learning to think critically earlier on than later.[/quote] I have seen no complaints about expecting young kids to think critically. I have seen complaints about expecting young kids to understand some math functions for which they are not ready. There is a big difference there. [/quote] It's also about thinking concretely as opposed to abstractly. Common Core push the demands for abstract thought down to ages where it's developmentally inappropriate. Young kids are concrete thinkers. [/quote]
