You've never heard anyone use the phrase "one-on-one" to refer to a close and direct interaction between two people? Really? Have you lived under a rock your entire life?

Have you never misspelled a single word, ever in, your entire professional career? If you say "no" then we know you are thoroughly full of crap. I can pretty much guarantee you that virtually every published work out there has at least one issue with it, whether misspellings, misusage of terms, incorrect grammar, or other issues. [/quote]

The "one-on-one" term is inappropriate for the standard.  Look it up.  It is used in that manner on other grade level standards, too. Wouldn't you think the professionals would want to be sure the standards were well written?  After all, I thought the experts were writing these standards.

For the record, please go read the definition of the term.  It is commonly used in sports--but also used in "encounters."  Just so you know, "collaboration" and "encounter" do not go together.  You would think with all the money spent on these standards, that they could have paid a professional to review it.  Funny, that this mistake is made on the language and literacy standards and not on math.

Of course, I have misspelled words and used words inappropriately. But, anything for public consumption should be held to high standards.  (Ironic, isn't it:  "standards") However, I would have sense enough to review standards that are being published nationwide and for use with millions of kids to be correct.  I was not an English teacher.  I am not an expert--but I quickly noticed the error.    
It just reinforces my belief that these standards were written hurriedly by people who did not know what they were doing.  I sure would love to know how much they were paid.

Thanks for posting the standard.  I had not noticed the error until you presented it as a "flexible" standard.
