"[i]Findlay City Schools Superintendent Ed Kurt says he isn’t against Common Core standards, but he does have a problem with the amount of state testing that educators are being forced to conduct in the classroom."

But, the testing is required. And, the tests are for Common Core standards.

Pretty good explanation of the problems.

Here's a start. He blames PARCC--but, face it, PARCC was developed with help from CC developers.

Another dissenter.

This opinion piece says nothing about difficulties with implementing curricula aligned to the Common Core standards.

Can we please stick with the assertion at hand, namely that "so many systems" are having "so much trouble" implementing the Common Core standards?

Unless you would also like to support two further assertions, namely that

1. The developers of the Common Core standards also helped to develop the PARCC tests, and this was improper.
2. The Common Core standards (not NCLB) require testing.

Wow. Even Aljazeera thinks Pearson is the beneficiary of Common Core.

Of course Pearson is a beneficiary of the Common Core standards. Pearson sells educational materials. Any time school systems buy new educational materials, Pearson is a beneficiary.

Nice dodge.

Is it true, or is it not true?

Like I keep saying, the fuckups you keep pointing to are LOCAL. If you are having those problems, then it is LOCAL. You quite likely have braindead administrators along with a lot of other mediocrity and cluelessness going on in your school (probably yourself included), which is not at all the fault of NCLB or CC.

Ah. My favorite Common Core supporter. You are easily identified.

Can you please give an example of a school system that is properly implementing Common Core. Why are all these systems having so much trouble?

Strictly speaking, a school system does not implement the Common Core standards. A school system implements a curriculum that is aligned to the Common Core standards.

Also, could you give some examples of "all these systems" having so much trouble? After all, "school system changes curriculum, everything goes generally well" is not exactly click-bait.

I am not the PP you're responding to.
