Oh, I guess it's the "CC is developmentally inappropriate" person again - who has failed again and again to prove her point or make her case.

The one who think it does not matter that the people who wrote them know nothing about child development. The one who thinks it doesn't matter who wrote them.

Oh, the one who thinks it's time to stop harping on who did what in 2008 and start proposing solutions for 2015 that are more substantive than "The Common Core is bad, get rid of it"?

If you start at the beginning you will see the same nonsense over and over again.



That argument then gets destroyed.

And then it's something else, which also gets destroyed.

And then it's something else, which also gets destroyed.

and eventually we're then back to

"The standards are developmentally inappropriate."

and so on, over and over and over again. The poster who keeps posting those talking points, like

"The standards are developmentally inappropriate."

is really not making his/her case whatsoever - but apparently thinks that if it keeps getting repeated over and over, that maybe someone else will be bamboozled by it, and maybe it will start to stick...

But, not all of us are idiots.

Start at the top of the page and read the posts in order.

Nobody said that.

She said there was no NCLB in K. What does that have to do with the appropriateness of K standards? If they are not appropriate, we don't care because there is no testing?

17:17 seemed to think that since there is no NCLB testing in K that it didn't matter if the standards were appropriate.

Is this a sincere question?

Do you think it's a bad idea for schools to have expectations of what kindergartners should be able to do by the end of kindergarten?

So, if there is no testing in K, why do we even bother to have standards?

Which standards? All of them? Just the kindergarten ones? There is no NCLB testing in kindergarten.

And are they more developmentally inappropriate than the previous standards they replaced?

The standards are developmentally inappropriate.

But as you say, NCLB is not the Common Core.

Common core makes NCLB much, much worse.

How do the Common Core standards make NCLB much, much worse, compared to the standards the states previously had?
