[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]LMAO! You have that completely backwards. Conservatives take their own personal experience and use that as their narrow perspective, and project that outward assuming everyone else should have the same perspective and viewpoint, and assume that there's something wrong with that individual if they disagree. That's what you've done, projecting your own experience onto every school and everyone else as your means for trying to justify your opposition to Common Core, while trying to discount others' experiences, such as trying to discount my experience with your completely made-up factoid about only 30% of kids being able to meet Common Core standards. I on the other hand AM taking a far more liberal approach than you, because I AM taking your experience and perspective into consideration while contrasting it with my own, and unlike you, I've talked about the DIFFERENCES between schools, under Common Core and NCLB. Not all school districts are run the same way, not all school districts are using the same textbooks and materials, not all school districts treat testing the same way, not all school districts devote the same amount of time toward these activities, and that's what you've again and again failed to take into consideration, whereas I have taken those things into consideration, and that's why I have the broader perspective as opposed to your own very narrow one. And based on my broader perspective, and seeing how it's the DIFFERENCES in how schools do things under Common Core and NCLB that make it either a good or bad experience, as opposed to your own myopic, narrow and less-informed view that it's just universally bad based solely on your own experience. That's why I keep telling you over and over that your problem is LOCAL, and that getting rid of CC and NCLB won't fix your LOCAL problem, because I actually have factored in my own knowledge and experience of those differences, which you haven't.

So, because you claim to be liberal, that means your experience counts and no one else's does?  You are talk about he differences between schools under Common Core and NCLB--but you have given no examples that I have read.  And, I'm not clear do you mean the differences before NCLB or are you comparing NCLB and Common Core or what?  This makes no sense.

Wow.  Your reading comprehension is atrocious.  You are the one who has dismissed and discounted my experience, whereas I am presenting an analysis and conclusion based on BOTH my experience AND your experience.  Yes, I *HAVE* indeed given examples of differences in schools and how they do things.

Here's the comparison of experiences, once again:  A.) On this thread, we've heard again and again, the anti-CCers talking about excessive and inordinate amounts of time prepping for NCLB testing, teaching to the test, putting kids through WEEKS of disruption, whereas B.) our own experience is completely different, DC's school does not "teach to the test" and spent ZERO hours on test prep, other than part of a study hall session to walk through test format and process, and that the only disruptions were the two days of actual testing, where half of the day was still regular curriculum with some modifications.

That's not about my kid (as the PP tried claiming with the specious "30% of students" claim), that's about my kid's school.

They DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY than yours does, and as a result, the kids have a totally different experience.  Again, that is the whole point - when you look not just at your own experience, but also at that of others, you can only come to the conclusion that it's not the mere fact of NCLB or CC, it's HOW YOUR PARTICULAR SCHOOL DOES IT that makes it bad.

They are having a "different experience." Let me guess....it's school stuffed with high income white kids, little diversity, and not a center for special education programs. [/quote]

Nope, nice try but wrong.  It's a school that's qualified for Title 1 status based on the large percentage of FARMS students.[/quote]
