These are the ONLY schools using the Core Knowledge Curriculum you speak of in New York State, according to the Core Knowledge website. This is HARDLY every school in NY State:[/quote]

Nope.   See what I posted earlier.   The New York State ELA Curriculum, at least for grades K-12, incorporates Core Knowledge in its domains.[/quote]

You didn't notice the COMMON CORE part, or deliberately ignored it.

And for the record? You said that the Core Knowledge curriculum was in use in NY before common core was introduced, that it was older than common core. So what's new is the introduction of common core and common core materials. But you insist on blaming the old curriculum? That seems....odd.....[/quote]

Are you deliberately being dense?  Yes, New York State is using BOTH Common Core AND Core Knowledge as part of its official ELA curriculum.

See my post directly above.

I wasn't the poster who said Core Knowledge was being used in NYS before Common Core.  Somehow I doubt that -- if true, why would people be freaking out about kids having to learn about ancient Mesopotamia in 1st grade?  They should be used to it by now![/quote]
