Good.  [b]Now defend it.  People have attacked Common Core standards on several levels.  You like it, obviously, so it is up to you to defend it.[/b]  You posted a standard because you thought it showed "flexibility".  You ignored the fact that it was vague and not measurable.  (Criteria for the standards shows that standards should me "clear" and "measurable". It is neither.  Please tell us why that standard is there.

Please cite the pilot groups for these standards and the results.

Please also explain how the work committees were selected, what was the criteria for the selection of the so-called "experts"?  What process did the committees use to select these standards?

Then, please explain how Common Core can be divided from NCLB when so much time is spent on the tests?    How is Common Core going to improve on that when it is apparent that people are quite upset with these new tests.  Was there as much rebellion over the former tests?

That's a start.  I have not seen the answer to any of these questions.  I still do not see how new standards will improve education.

On the contrary. There has been thread after thread after thread on DCUM about how the Common Core standards are bad. It's up to the people who post on those threads about how the Common Core standards (and all of the other stuff that people lump into the Common Core standards, inaccurately) are bad to support their assertions.

Also, "measurable" doesn't mean what people seem to think it means. If the standard is that a student should be able to do x, and you can answer the question "Is the student able to do x?", then it's measurable.[/quote]
