The problem is that you need some data.  [b]You cannot just say what "reactions" were to your posted standards here on DCUM.[/b]  Those comments do not constitute a properly researched investigation of the standard and its impact on a wide variety of students.  It is really up to the people who are gung ho about these standards to persuade the skeptics.  They need real world experience and data to show the naysayers.  Otherwise they will just keep saying, the standards are good and you have to show us they aren't.  That's not how true progress is made.  There has to be more than just "I think they're good".  They are the ones who put the standards out there so they are the ones who must show others that they did the right thing.  [/quote]

Of course I can say that. (For one thing, I actually did say that.) The discussion here is the discussion here. And in the discussion here, it is really up to the people who keep saying "it's developmentally inappropriate!" to provide some evidence of the developmental inappropriateness.

What is your response to people who say that their child could do this in pre-K?

What is your response to people who say that this was already part of the curriculum in MCPS before Maryland adopted the Common Core standards?

What is your response to people who say that the inability of poor children from uneducated families to meet this standard is not evidence of [b]developmental [/b]inappropriateness?

And do you think that this standard is developmentally inappropriate?
