[quote=Anonymous][quote]More than you, because at least I'm in favor of assessing it, shining a light on it, getting the data out there, and [b]trying to figure out and fix what's wrong with our curriculum[/b] to make the appropriate changes - whereas you're just out there saying "don't rock the boat, everything's fine, we'll be just great if we just turn that spotlight off and go back to pretending."[/quote]

We're not pretending anything.  The light has been shining on the achievement gap for years and years (14 years of NCLB testing now).

Now, the part about "fix what's wrong with our curriculum" is not going to be solved by the CC standards because, as you say, they are not a curriculum.  Are the states going to get together and make a "common curriculum" that works?  Or is it just going to remain at the standards and testing level as far as state consortiums go?  Because you are right---it is the curricular level that makes all the difference.  Yet the standards are not able to successfully drive that level.  That has to be left to the classroom teacher for the most part and you'd better hope you can attract the best ones you can.  [/quote]
