[quote=Anonymous]So, our Common Core supporter won the argument pages ago?

Other than personal attacks and assumptions about politics, here are the  arguments on this thread in favor of Common Core.
The only answer to specific questions is to post the Common Core website which is written by the Common Core developers and about the Common Core developers.  It gives almost no concrete information about how the standards were developed or by whom.  Feedback data is particularly scant.  There is not any information about the vetting and validation of the standards—except to say they did.
The fourth grade PARCC test is good.
We can compare states scores with Common Core.
Who cares who developed them?
No one has failed the test.
Kids always fail the test when it is new.
The tests have been revised.
Standards are good.
It doesn’t matter that the developers had close connections with Pearson.
Doesn’t matter that Pearson won the contract with PARCC.
Oh yes, and I guess the implication is that it is just fine for Pearson to be making buckets of money off of standards that it wrote.

So, these are the arguments in favor.    Here’s a clue, when you argue you should have data to support your argument.
