The CC standards are going to be changed.  It's just a matter of time.  It's what happens with standards.  The debate that is going on now is good because it may very well be that what we come up with in the end will be a much more reasonable and workable document.  Lots of people are poring over these standards and debating them right now.  This is all good.  What we want are standards that improve the whole educational process.  The PP wants more specifics and if he wants those, he needs to work more closely with people who are actually in schools using these standards (and not hang out on DCUM---because people on here are not all using the standards).  I know that I cannot give him the detail that he is seeking.  Sorry.

I also think it is important to ask ourselves how money is spent because we, the taxpayers, are entrusting our money to our representatives and we do want to see if we are getting any bang for our buck (and who is profiting---is it the students or the testing companies).  Do you wonder why people don't want to pay higher taxes?[/quote]
