[quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty sure that it was a joke too, but the fact is that in many states, CC has more standards related to traditional academic skills such as math fact fluency, the use of standard algorithms, and phonics, than the standards it replaced. I thought it was weird 20 years ago when somehow whether or not you supported structured explicit phonics was somehow connected to your political ideology. That since I support abortion and gay marriage it was logical that I'd be on the whole language bandwagon. I think it's equally weird now that the conservative right is attacking a set of standards that include math facts and consonant digraphs.[/quote]
