That's not a standards problem, that's a problem with how schools and teachers have chosen to implement the standard. The standard did not tell them or force them to teach content without prerequisite skills. [/quote]

This has been repeated constantly on CC threads.  The standards do not exist in a vacuum.

Again, the standards DO NOT dictate or specify the implementation flaws that were noted above, like skipping prerequisites.  If prerequisites are being skipped, it's because schools are skipping them, not because of the standard.  If you want to suggest anything to the contrary, you'll have to provide a specific citation from the actual standard to support it.  http://www.corestandards.org/[/quote]

The standards don't say anything about the problem of kids walking into a class and not having had the prerequisites because the standards were totally different the year before and money desperate schools grabbed the race to the top cash first and thought they'd firgure out the details later. The standards are cold and bloodless and totally impractical, especial for kids in middle and high school who have this big load of shit dumped on them.
