[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]and even if 2 or 3 standards were "vague" what makes you think it makes more sense to scrap the entire body of work as opposed to simply updating the 2 or 3 vague ones?

And if you are concerned about the costs of all of this, then you need to consider that if all of the Common Core standards are scrapped, then you would be starting over, with a whole new set of costs for implementing replacement standards - and based on previous experience, there is far less economy of scale and far greater overall cost in doing things individually, state by state and district by district.

Your solution of just scrapping everything sure doesn't seem to make any sense to me. Certainly doesn't make financial sense.[/quote]

The cost of keeping something that does no good or worse in place is much, much more.  Despite your fear of the Koch brothers, money is not everything.  [/quote]

"Does no good or worse" is strictly an opinion shared by you and some hired shills.  And further, any "cost" you might want to cite is purely speculative.

However given existing historical data relating to the cost of developing standards, it's already known and documented fact that the costs of each state and district doing their own thing is vastly more expensive than the cost of developing and maintaining one standard.[/quote]
