[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]LOL, you set yourself up for a knockdown by not even bothering to look at even the most basic Common Core information.

http://www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards/frequently-asked-questions/

"Were teachers involved in the creation of the standards? 
 Yes. Teachers have been a critical voice in the development of the standards. The Common Core State Standards drafting process relied on teachers and standards experts from across the country. Teachers were involved in the development process in four ways: 
 They served on the Work Groups and Feedback Groups for the ELA and math standards. 
 The National Education Association (NEA), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), among other organizations were instrumental in bringing together teachers to provide specific, constructive feedback on the standards 
 Teachers were members of teams states convened to provide regular feedback on drafts of the standards. 
 Teachers provided input on the Common Core State Standards during the two public comment periods."

Development Process

The state-led effort to develop the Common Core State Standards was launched in 2009 by state leaders, including governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, two territories and the District of Columbia, through their membership in the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). State school chiefs and governors recognized the value of consistent, real-world learning goals and launched this effort to ensure all students, regardless of where they live, are graduating high school prepared for college, career, and life.

The standards are informed by:

The best state standards already in existence 
 The experience of teachers, content experts, states, and leading thinkers 
 Feedback from the public

So, your "developed in isolation" and "no teachers were involved or consulted" is complete mythology[/quote]

Double LOL!  Now, go look up the lists of the committee members.  ( I did this long ago.  Hint:  Few to no classroom teachers.)[/quote]

You were already proven WRONG in your assertion that there were no teachers involved, that it was all done in isolation.  [/quote]
