If you had read that link several times before you would have picked up on the fact that it cites a cast of thousands that were involved, along with providing links to some of the folks who were involved in the workgroups and committees, for example http://www.nga.org/files/live/sites/NGA/files/pdf/2010COMMONCOREK12TEAM.PDF. The site talks about the many groups, organizations et cetera that were consulted and involved in the development process, [b]for example National Education Association (NEA), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) et cetera[/b]. It thoroughly debunks your repeated insistence that the standards were developed in secret, that nobody had input, that there were no experts or teachers involved. [/quote]

Suggest you google and see what these groups say now about their input.  They are not pleased.

Nice try but no cigar.  This was also already dealt with in another thread.  I already did google it, and you are mistaken, your belief that "they are not pleased" is based on spin taken from a vote taken by one of the groups mentioned saying they would provide some public documentation and critique under the banner of their organization [b]if[/b] there was anything that they felt was problematic or which they felt went counter to their policies.  That was a couple years ago, as they were just starting into the process.  Since then, in the couple of years that have since come and gone, they have NOT made any such release, which tells me they did NOT find anything problematic or counter to their policies.[/quote]
