I'm not sure this woman has ever said something positive about CC.

Also no mention of how NY has additional standards, and how the implementation could be a factor. Just more CC bashing.[/quote]

Can you explain why teachers don't know the difference?[/quote]

That's not what I said.  I'm in no position to generalize what teachers know and don't know.

His letter was actually pretty specific to NY and called out NY administrators only.  But Valerie Strauss could have provided come context.  The byline on the front page says he is "speaking out on Common Core."  He was really speaking out on the NY test.[/quote]

He specifically said Common Core in his letter. If you follow the link, there is another letter from other teachers that also specifically reference Common Core. So again, why do the NY teachers not know of the additional NY standards?  Or more telling, what do they know that we don't?[/quote]
