Bill Gates and wife gave $ for the research into CCS. He gives fairly equally to both political parties. CCS was asked for and pursued by state governors of both political parties... You can probably find bY name each individual who sat at the development committee if you look in the right place... CCS was NOT done in secret.... Common Core State Standards has now been on the agenda at the National Governors Conference for 10 plus year..


So, then, Bill Gates chose the committee? Maybe he did. The members are listed on the governor's site. They are not qualified--and it was done in secret. People had to sign confidentiality agreements.

For the person who keeps insisting that Common Core did not have any input, that it was developed in secret, here is some reading for you.

They are "unqualified" and "it happened in secret" only according to your propaganda. Again, this was already debunked in several other posts - they discounted all kinds of prior teaching and academic experienced and refused to acknowledge the qualifications of anyone who wasn't teaching at the time that they were involved in the standards work. They threw out eminently qualified subject matter experts as "unqualified". They claimed "it happened in secret" when in fact many teaching organizations and thousands of teaching professionals and subject matter experts had a hand in development and review of the standards.


Then, please enlighten us. I've read most of these threads, and I have not seen one post that gave documentation about how the committee was selected and why they were qualified.

LMAO! So that's your argument?

Nothing but cut-and-pasted propaganda from the far right wing, Koch-funded, anti-climate, pro-coal Heartland Institute?

You have got to be shitting us!

You are every bit as full of shit as the Koch Brothers. What next, promoting that having children smoking tobacco in school is healthy for them?


That's your explanation of why the standards are good? You have no argument, so you are creating a red herring.



No, that's an explanation of why your criticism of the standards is invalid.

You can LYAO all you want. The people on the committee were the people on the committee. Facts are facts. And they were unqualified. THAT should be your beef, not the the source of the info. The individual names weren't from a right leaning site, but a left one.

No. The standards require confusing processes. They outline "critical thinking" which may not be the way another uses it.

The fight against Common Core is the strangest one yet! Complaining about increasing the standards or in simple language increasing the learning outcomes of what students need to know for each unit or school year. School districts can teach students what ever and how ever they want as long as the student is able to master it in the end. Boo, hoo, math is too hard!
