[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote] Who would volunteer their kids to be the guinea pigs? Would you? This would be a case of we want/need cell phones, but I don't want the cell towers in my backyard. Let me guess, they should be adopted in a low income SES school where the parents can't fight the school board, unlike the wealthier areas that would raise a stink. And how long do we test the new standards for? And who would spend the money to develop a curriculum for such a small sample size? [/quote]
