Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 882032, member: 2265"] I'm not quite sure what you are really saying. Common Core at least sets a threshold for different disciplines and I do not see how that is bad. We have heard over and over that sure, our kids are falling behind in basic skills and knowledge and every time something is tried to fix it we hear that we shouldn't worry about it because our system is better at developing critical thinking. There just seems to be something wrong with that. Are the two mutually exclusive? Isn't that is some way a canard? Surely the status quo is unacceptable. [/QUOTE]
