Common Core is destroying this.  It is making us less flexible and making students less confident.  It's a disaster.  STOP THE MADNESS NOW.  I just love it that the parents can see this (at least the ones who are critical thinkers) and are opting their kids out.  It seems that we have a lot of critical thinkers who care about education in the New York City area.  Not too surprised there.  They will lead us out of this.  Thankfully.  [/quote]

People are opting their kids out of the Common Core curriculum? How are they doing this?

I also don't understand how the Common Core standards are making us less flexible. Is there something particularly rigid about, for example,

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1
Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly.[/quote]

LOL!  Fantasy.  The only way they can opt out of Common Core curriculum is to either a.) move to a state or territory that doesn't do Common Core b.) homeschool or c.) private school, and there aren't exactly droves of people doing that.   If anything, the droves of people who are leaving schools are going from traditional publics to public charters, because they see the problem for what it is, that public schools really suck at implementing anything new.[/quote]
