Excellent analysis. Pisces Jun 2014 #1

Thanks, I enjoy policy these days nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #2

We will never see great innovation from our society again until we invest in our liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #3

And that us what the emphasis in creative thinking at San Diego Unified does nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #4

So what happens to the kids that can't keep up with the curriculum? Do they get a more liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #5

In other places around the world they would not have waited that long nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #8

Actually our last school that we had such problems with the math curriculum was in affluent liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #10

Then your child would be in a special needs class nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #11

Special education children are not the only ones who learn differently or at a different pace. liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #12

Have fun nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #13

Ok I will go public with this. nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #23

My son would be much better off without Common Core because they would be focusing on his liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #28

Then consider home schooling nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #29

you can argue till you're blue in the face. Even his teachers know Common Core and Race to the liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #31

I am not arguing nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #36

I agree. I think you and I are done discussing this. I am not going to change your mind and you are liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #45

I have walked those shoes nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #46

Oh and I forgot nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #30

I agree. And Common Core is making people money too. liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #32

It is not common core nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #35

You are not listening. He was doing fine in elementary school when they were allowed to teach liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #44

Talk to your elected, yes elected and *very local,* nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #48

Again, this is a middle school issue and not a common core issue. He's currently in 6th grade, right RayOfHope Jun 2014 #54

This isnt CC. This is middle school versus elementary school issue. RayOfHope Jun 2014 #51

liberal_at_heart, your child is so fortunate to have you. FourScore Jun 2014 #61

Thanks and you are so correct nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #63

Usually the curricula are the same, but many districts use "differentiated learning." GreenEyedLefty Jun 2014 #25

In general things have gotten much better nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #27

sounds good in theory, but my son has never experienced this is in the Common Core real world. liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #33

Not really. Saying "it isn't that bad of an idea" a few times TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #37

We know the intent nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #38

No, some like to think they can walk and chew gum at the same time when they are going to TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #57

Then by your logic we should have listened to Cantor and Bachman and never implemented the ACA nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #58

That isn't what I said and I have never evah have suggested anyone listen to Orange and Smarm TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #67

Actually national standards are pressing nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #68

I don't disagree with you about the benefit, Nadine. I disagree about the net value of the benefit TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #69

Alas the brain drain will continue to deepen nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #70

You have noticed that our efforts have only exacerbated the situation? TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #71

Sorry, I am not being cantankerous nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #72

Yep. The underlying idea is important. SheilaT Jun 2014 #6

And we have been fighting this battle nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #9

It would be nice if we could have a nuanced discussion about this. I think the policy is good and Pisces Jun 2014 #17

Some school systems are experimenting nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #26

Similar to International Baccalaureate ... created for diplomats' kids frazzled Jun 2014 #7

Wow, that sounds incredible. I am going to look into this. Thank you for the info. Pisces Jun 2014 #15

Start here frazzled Jun 2014 #22

Thank you !!! Pisces Jun 2014 #24

People also don't realize/know that CC is NOT A CURRICULUM. I keep reading "my kid didn't learn.. RayOfHope Jun 2014 #14

Exactly nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #16

I think that the assessment should be removed for at least 2 years while schools and teacher figure Pisces Jun 2014 #18

Don't quote me, yet. nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #19

That would make sense. I hope that roles out to the rest of the country. I don't think states should Pisces Jun 2014 #20

Given the school system in NOLA, on purpose nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #21

Then why are there Common Core text books? It is a curriculum. They tried to force my son to learn liberal_at_heart Jun 2014 #43

I will try one last time nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #47

It is *not* a curriculum. Curriculums lay out a scope and sequence, outline lessons, provide RayOfHope Jun 2014 #49

do you have any links that support that Common Core is rooted in the experience cali Jun 2014 #34

Here's the great thing though, local districts still have control of how they teach it and when RayOfHope Jun 2014 #53

I'm suspicious of the profit motive behind this CC concept bigtree Jun 2014 #39

And I will point you to the mid level policy nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #40

I don't have trouble with the targets bigtree Jun 2014 #41

CC is just targets at DOE nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #42

Excellent posts, all through this thread nadin. nt msanthrope Jun 2014 #52

I am not expert on this standingtall Jun 2014 #55

And that you are critizing is not Common Core nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #56

I'm confused. FourScore Jun 2014 #59

Common core is the goals nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #62

I'm sorry, I'm still confused. FourScore Jun 2014 #64

State mandated tests nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #65

Yep! That's what I thought. I hate them. n/t FourScore Jun 2014 #66
