[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, 22:55 but you definitely don't have the critical thinkers among you.

You have people who can't tell the differences between Common Core versus curriculum, who can't tell the difference between Common Core and NCLB, who don't realize that PARCC isn't the only test out there, who don't realize that Pearson isn't the only textbook company out there, who don't realize that charters also have Common Core and NCLB testing, who lie and claim they are teachers desperate for credibility, only to then get tripped up on fundamentals that real teachers should know, who can't ever seem to come up with any actual data when challenged on their talking points, who don't understand psychometrics and cut scores, and who don't seem to realize that most of their half-baked anti-CC talking points are funded and promoted by the Koch Brothers by way of the Heartland Institute and other right wing front organizations...

From where I'm standing I'm not seeing a whole lot of critical thinking going on in your camp at all.[/quote]

THIS.   Thank you.

And, the fact that the Common Core / NCLB opponents keep trotting out so many confused, contorted, contrived, confabulated, and contradictory arguments demonstrates quite clearly that most of them are clearly not educators, given the blatant lack of knowledge on their part.  It also goes to show that if anything, genuine concern about educational outcomes is not their real interest or concern here, if anything it's a *distant* second - that it's primarily about politics.  And wow, what bizarre bedfellows - union shills and tea party nuts lying in bed together.  It's like Dennis Kucinich and Sarah Palin got together and had a bizarre Frankenbaby.

Meanwhile, you also note that it's the CC/NCLB opponents who keep making these kinds of admissions and concessions, along with being the ones constantly trying to dodge and deflect, whereas the CC/NCLB supporters have not had to give one single inch of ground.

Sorry folks, but you have a real messaging problem here.[/quote]
