Another great post by an actual teacher in the trenches. Thank you.

Common Core's demands that everyone be taught at grade level whether they are actually there are not are going to be a disaster for 70 percent of kids in this country. They will get behind in Kindergarten and never be allowed to catch up.[/quote]

As the actual teacher in the trenches clearly explains, the Common Core standards do not demand this. The teacher's school administrators demand it.[/quote]

No, there are one set of standards and everyone is to be taught these standards. And tested on them.

No flexibility or leeway at all. The 1.5 pages on kids with IEPs in the Common Core standards makes this clear. They use garbage talk like "unpacking the standards" as if that will work. [/quote]

Again, I think you have this completely backwards.  Common core requires a minimum set of grade level elements to be taught but does not forbid remedial work to help students who are not at grade level, nor does it forbid accomodations and supports for SN students with IEPs.  If schools aren't providing those supports, it's due to their own choices, and not because of some supposed rigidity or inflexibility of the standard.[/quote]

again where is your PROOF?

The standards are totally inflexible. That is a known fact. [/quote]
