[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Excellent point! The issue with Common Core is that, on some level, it ignores this reality and approaches curriculum standards as if students across the country were all performing at the "average point" when plenty are excelling (your Cambridge, MA example). Areas where excellence is happening need to be encouraged (and, perhaps even more rigor could be added), areas where sub-par performance is happening need extra encouragement/support. But, to treat the entire country as if the performance was similar across the board ignores the truth and obscures the areas where need exists. [/quote] Nowhere in the Common Core does it say that students are only allowed to be able to do the things in the Common Core standards and are forbidden from doing anything more. If states want to add more, then they are free to add more -- as far as I know.[/quote]
