How will they make things much, much worse? [/quote]

No provisions for under achievers.

What provisions should there be? For example, here is a second-grade math standard for understanding place value:

CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1
Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones.

That is, by the end of second grade, for a second-grader to be at the second-grade level, a second-grader should understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones.

There is a related first-grade math standard:

CCSS.Math.Content.1.NBT.B.2
Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones.

If, by the end of second grade, a second-grader understands that the two digits of a two-digit number represents amounts of tens and ones, that's a good start -- but all the same, the second-grader will be at the first-grade level, not the second-grade level.[/quote]
