Common Core standards: Not tested nor vetted anywhere for clarity, effectiveness and results. Obama and Duncan were told by experts like Diane Ravitch, whom they approached for her support and opinion, that they needed to TEST the standards in a school district or several before they rolled them out to a nation. They were in a hurry and refused; we are seeing the results of their haste now. A generation of kids who are guinea pigs.

Yes, the anti-Common Core people keep saying they weren't "tested" or "vetted". What, specifically, would you have been to "test" and "vet" the standards?

Also, how does that affect the standards themselves? Are there standards that you think are bad because they weren't "tested" and "vetted"? Which standards? For example, here's a third-grade math standard, which I just grabbed randomly:

CCSS.Math.Content.3.NBT.A.1
Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

Do you think that this is a bad standard, which "testing" and "vetting" would have improved somehow? If so, how?[/quote]
