And I detest them. The concept of 'developmentally appropriate' didn't enter into the preparation of the Common Core Standards. They weren't written by educators and whoever is responsible for this nonsense should be punished. I'm thinking jail time wouldn't be too severe.

3rd graders are not ready to regroup in multiplication and division. Can't make them grasp that concept no matter how hard you try. Ain't happening.

The comprehension expectations for 1st graders are absolutely insane. You aren't going to move from cat-bat-hat-rat-sat-mat-hat-fat to character motivations in a semester.

In all the years I have taught, I have NEVER seen anything this crazy.
