[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^well you can't defend it.  Poster revealed that she is, indeed, NOT a classroom teacher.    (Let the kid who is staying in for allergies peel oranges, really?)[/quote]

So, because I hold a special ed certification, I'm the one who is not qualified to comment on a thread about the developmental appropriateness of CCSS for kids with special education needs?

I'm also baffled by the latter.  As a teacher I always had kids who needed to stay in for one reason or another.  Some of that is cultural.  I grew up in a family, and have raised my kids to go outside in all weathers, but other groups are more protective of their kids.  Some of that is that asthma is a huge problem for African American kids in low income urban environments, and many of my kids suffered from it.  Most kindergarteners love to "help", so I made sure that I gave them opportunities to do so so that they wouldn't feel punished.  Of course most of their "help" was more work than it was worth, but peeling some of those easy cutie oranges is a task that most kids could be successful with.  [/quote]
