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]

+1 yea, I don't get that logic.

ES kids are not going to drop out of school.  They may complain that school is harder now because they now have to think a lot more, but I seriously doubt you will see a high dropout rate for ES kids.

As parents we complain that our kids won't be ready to compete with kids from foreign countries, so most of the states implement a set of standards that push critical thinking which, in theory, should make our kids much more competitive in the work place.  Then, some parents turn around and complain that the standards are not age appropriate (which is basically saying that even for HS kids, CC standards are too hard), so we need to make them easier, so they don't feel bad about themselves.

For SN kids, if the standards are too difficult, then they either will need 1. more support  or 2. a different set of standards

But it's also ridiculous to say that standards for all kids should be changed because SN kids cannot meet them.[/quote]
