CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.1.a 
 Print many upper- and lowercase letters

Wonder if "many" is the same in Arlington as in Loudoun? [/quote]

Do you think that the standard is bad unless it specifies exactly how many upper-case letters and how many lower-case letters?  [/quote]

Yup.  It is vague.  It cannot be measured.

I'm guessing that you use "many" quite often in regular life. Like this, for example, "Many states have rejected the Common Core standards!" How many?

If the standard said, "Print 12 upper- and 10 lowercase letters", you would say that the standard was bad because it didn't allow for flexibility.[/quote]

^^^or you would say that the standard didn't specify which letters, or that legibility is subjective, or that the standard doesn't specify pencil hold, or that "uppercase" and "lowercase" is spelled incorrectly and/or the wrong terminology, or that kindergarteners should be playing with locks instead of having to learn to print letters.[/quote]
