And the federal idea of using students' results from the NCLB-mandated tests for teacher performance evaluations -- which also is unrelated to the standards themselves. [/quote]

The tests aren't related to the standards?  Who knew.

The tests are related to the standards. The federal idea of using students' results from the NCLB-mandated tests for teacher performance evaluations is unrelated to the standards. If the Common Core standards went away tomorrow, NCLB would still mandate tests, and people would still call for using students' results from the NCLB-mandated tests for teacher performance evaluations.

In fact DC did want to use students' results from the NCLB-mandated tests for teacher performance evaluations, and that was BEFORE the Common Core standards.[/quote]

Regardless of whether you like CC standards or not, people need to get their facts straight.

NCLB was implemented under the Bush Admin, waaay before  CC standards.  Under Obama's admin., the Race to the Top funds became tied to CC standards, but not because his admin. developed them, but because they were trying to reward schools for improving performance.   They  jumped on the CC standards bandwagon as a means to use something as a benchmark to reward the schools.

Sheesh, people.  Get your facts straight.[/quote]
