You have to go outside the public screwel system. That means home schooling or private.

And, she just told us that she is a writing teacher.

The anti-cc posters intelligence level is not high. I'm not the writing teacher, there is more than one poster who thinks the "cc is bad" argument is nonsensical. And though the "I don't get math" retort is ridiculous and juvenile on its face, I can assure you that I did quite well in graduate school level math.

BTW, I agree that special needs kids should not be required to take state assessments or PARC, but that is a No Child Left Behind issue, not common core.

Example: Just because someone is an engineer--that doesn't make him a good teacher. Can an artist explain how he paints his pictures? Are all writers good journalism professors?

Just because some experts can explain it, doesn't mean that all who understand can explain it. Pretty simple concept.

It's not clear he understands it if he can't explain the reasoning. Otherwise, it's just rote memorization which is not the same as understanding.

I don't understand. If you say that if you can't explain it, then you don't understand it, then that shows that the PP doesn't understand math? Why?

When Sal Khan explains about dividing fractions (for example), does that show that he doesn't understand math?

Not necessarily. Do you like explaining things repeatedly? Oh, right, I guess you do. When you truly understand, it gets tiresome.

It's good training for arguing with nitwits on DCUM.

I'm not against cc, but I am against all the excessive testing that takes away from instructional time.

Which Common Core standard calls for students to explain things repeatedly?

Fine, you don't like the way the standards are written. But how about the knowledge the standards call for?

Just curious. Why can't you see that this whole CC thing is a mess?
