[quote]We have no idea how they came up with the standards because there was no explanation put out to the public.

To rephrase that statement more accurately, "I was too lazy to google so therefore I came up with a bogus, made-up statement that there was no reason or explanation put out to the public." [/quote]

No.  You just believe everything on the Common Core website.  There is no documentation anywhere else--and their documentation is pretty scanty.  Like the standards were developed by teachers and vetted.  Please show me where that is.  And, no, you won't find it on google.  Since you are so sure, and I am too dumb to find it, please post it.  There's plenty to say otherwise.  
In fact, if you even bothered to read the bios of the people on the committees, you would know that there were less than a handful of teachers on all the committees together.

You have no idea and no explanation?  You really must live under a rock.

You quite obviously have absolutely no clue about the history of changes to US education over the last couple of decades, for example the "A Nation At Risk" report that came out during the Reagan administration, then "Outcomes Based Education" standards that were being developed and adopted by many districts and states in the 1990s, then "Goals 2000" and NCLB in 2001 and then the Curriculum Frameworks and everything else that followed, then discussions among the state Ed agencies and Governor's association in 2007 and 2008, leading to establishment of the multi-state Common Core consortium in 2009.  You really ought to do a bit more research before going around pretending this stuff was just randomly beamed down from the Alien mothership and you have no idea why.[/quote]
