(96 posts)No. She gave one example of how she doesn't understand some random teacher's lesson plan.
So I head to the school board, read a lesson plan from 1975, pretend that it's absurd because I don't understand it, and...
-- I gave one example to highlight the issues behind 1970s math instruction!
Now I read from a lesson plan from pre-CC, and again I mock it and pretend that there wasn't a lesson that preceded it or that there wasn't some introduction to the topic. VIOLA! All lessons prior to CC suck, and I obliterated all non-CC instruction. Further, I gave one example to highlight the issues behind pre-CC.
You really should stick to your own topic. Of course CC is not perfect, and of course many disagree (including me) that students will receive the most bang for the buck, but come on -- "She gave one example to highlight the issues behind Common Core." No, she managed to convince people that by misunderstanding someone's lesson plan that may have been from CC that she had a point.
You can't follow your own thread. I responded to your topic, then you segued into some straw men. Some professors judged it to be a step backwards -- of course some did. Others liked what they saw. Some people hyped the promises of CC. Of course some did. But to the point at hand:
"She gave one example to highlight the issues behind Common Core." = bull.
