[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The teachers in my son's school say the standards are wordy, confusing and unclear in many areas.[/quote]

The standards were written with minimal to no input from classroom teachers.  We have someone on this board who thinks they are great.  I think her job depends on CC&lt;[/quote]

There are many people on this board who think they are pretty good -- including me. My job does not depend on the Common Core standards in any way whatsoever. But maybe all those other people's jobs do, I don't know.[/quote]

Based on what? These are untested, unproven standards, and children all across the country are suffering because of them.

Based on having read the standards.

Also, how many children all across the country are suffering because of them, and were children all across the county better off before the Common Core standards? I don't think so.

Also, I am in Montgomery County, where it is an article of faith that the Common Core standards are way too easy, and that any child who went to a decent preschool masters the K-3 Common Core standards before starting kindergarten. I don't think that it's logically coherent to argue that the Common Core standards are bad because

1. they're too hard,
2. they're too easy, 
3. they're standards.[/quote]
