[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Side question: why can’t we just reject common core, like MA and VA?[/quote]

Common core is fine - it is a set of standards.  Curriculum 2.0, which is MCPS, is the issue.[/quote]

No, signing up for common core in order to get annual grant money is what DRIVES central office to teach to the bottom. What's the mathematically easiest way to get an average proficiency score up? Get the low hanging fruit at 2 grade levels under their age to get their scores from 50% accurate to 70% accurate, not challenge the strong kids at 97% accurate to get to 99% or do more levels.

TYING MONEY TO COMMON CORE TEST SCORES IS THE DOWNFALL OF MARYLAND FEDERALIZING ITS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.  and what better hook than money to bloat one's public school budget and make central office act like a crack addict to get the funding each year. Children being taught to potential and teachers having the flexibility to adapt to their classrooms' skill sis not the priority: tests scores and federal money is. [/quote]
