Worse yet, you gave absolutely ludicrous examples of what you felt were acceleration - for example that for kids who can already count to 10, that it would take them an additional year and a half more to get from counting to 10 to counting to 20 and beyond.

The reality is that Common Core is a more consistent, gap-filling and harmonized version of existing state standards. In fact, if you visit this very message board and listen to what they say even from neighboring Montgomery County you will find they consider Common Core to be cake, lower than what they had previously. California and a few other states had areas where parts of their state standard were higher than Common Core. And as "vague" as you think Common Core standards are, many of the prior state standards were far worse (and oh, by the way, the state standards have plenty of misspellings too). If you're going to trot around pretending to be an expert you might first at least take a look at some of the comparative analyses that were done. Again, in some cases the language that was used in Common Core came directly from state standards. They were not developed from scratch, in a vacuum. The status quo that you want to waste hundreds of millions of dollars through getting rid of Common Core and going back to is really not what you have it cracked up to be. [/quote]
