[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, and I have no problem with it. I do have a problem with people who are reactionary, twist the meaning of your words , are defensive and start every reply with "Oh, so you think XXXX?". Because they demonstrate an inability to separate emotion from reason, and I can't respect that. [/quote]

Has it occurred to you that people who disagree have valid reasons.  You seem to think the standards can stand alone.  They can't . In theory, perhaps, they don't require testing.  However, in practice, they do.[/quote]

You CAN separate standards and curriculum.

My son had a HORRIBLE time in 2nd grade, and cried and cried and cried, every time he had to do homework.

Funny thing was, this was before Common Core!   It was just the regular MD state standards that we had.

But the MD state standards weren't what were making him cry.   It was the hard homework, that was assigned by the teacher, as part of his curriculum (the materials and methods with which he was being taught)

The curriculum made him cry, and the MD state department of ed regulations made him not have a lot of recess!   All before Common Core.

Funny thing is now, he's doing fine with Common Core standards.   His teachers are using some of their old materials and some new ones as a curriculum, but it seems to be working just fine in 6th grade.   No tears yet and he even took the PARCC field test without vomiting.[/quote]
