Are you the PP? I'm not asking the question in general. I'm asking the PP, specifically, what specific aspect of the Common Core standards the PP considers a huge disaster. We are all anonymous here. If you are the PP, and you have answered the question before, on another thread, there is no way for me to know this. [/quote]

Told you where you can find the answers.  Pages and pages of answers.

So, just to be clear -- you're the PP, and you're purposely not answering the question?

I have read all of those other threads, to my sorrow, and the answer to the question of what specific aspect of the Common Core standards is a huge disaster is apparently EVERYTHING, down to the words "the" and "and" in "CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.2 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing." -- and if two opponents of the Common Core standard have two different answers that are mutually contradictory and cannot both be true, that is just further proof of the badness of the Common Core standards.[/quote]

Can't be understood, contradictory, and opponents are coming up with different answers?  Let's dissect that one.

[i]CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.2.A
Capitalize the first word in a sentence and the pronoun I[/i]

If opponents of Common Core are coming up with i instead of I and non-capitalized letters starting a sentence, then what the fuck?

[i]CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.2.B
Recognize and name end punctuation.[/i]

If opponents of Common Core are coming up with different answers, maybe ending sentences with ^, & or % instead of periods, question marks or exclamation points, then what the fuck?

[i]CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.2.C
Write a letter or letters for most consonant and short-vowel sounds (phonemes).[/i]

If opponents of Common Core can't understand basic phonemes, like 'a' in 'cat' then what the fuck?

[i]CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.2.D
Spell simple words phonetically, drawing on knowledge of sound-letter relationships.[/i]

See above, 'cat' - none of this is newfangled weirdness, it's basic phonics, by which millions of Americans learned to read and write properly, ever heard of "Dick and Jane", or McGuffey Readers, which since the 1830s, made folks like Longfellow and Oliver Wendell Holmes the eloquent writers that they became?

What the fuck, people?  NONE of this is "new" or "unvetted" and none of it is incomprehensible.[/quote]
