[quote=Anonymous]^ Right - anyone who has actually done any fact checking finds that the claims that the standards "didn't have any front line teachers involved," "weren't vetted," "weren't written by people who understand students," "are developmentally inappropriate" have no merit whatsoever.  The Politifact article debunks all of that.  As have so many other things that have been posted.

The fact that those anti-CC claims can so easily be disproven - along with the fact that the anti-CC folks are consistently unable to provide anything factual on their end, and only throw around unsubstantiated claims and opinions without data or unbiased analysis pretty much puts the anti-CC crowd on a similar par to folks who would try to argue that the Earth is flat.

There is no debate on those points.  CC DID have involvement from teachers, it DID have the right people at the table, it IS developmentally appropriate and it HAS been vetted.

Those are proven facts at this point.   All else is empty nonsense - and given the preponderance of evidence that already supports the facts, the anti-CC people are going to have to back up any of their own claims from here on out.

Dodging, deflecting, changing the subject, asking for more, more, and more and constantly trying to move the goalposts when you've provided nothing to support your own arguments simply does not cut it anymore.[/quote]
