[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Not if they give up and drop out, which even the Common Core advocates agree is about to happen.[/quote] You're now arguing that it's better for schools not to require critical thinking and more rigorous learning, because then fewer students will drop out. [/quote] Just because people use the trendy buzzword "rigorous" doesn't mean that it's appropriate for young children -- or even accurate. You could try to require infants walk at 9 months. A few will be able to. The majority won't, no matter what you do to them. Should they be deemed failures? Common Core is similar. The people who wrote said it was for the top 30 percent of learners -- not the majority of students. [/quote]
