I don't understand what the problem with Common Core is. Is it the principle of having standards or how they've been applied?

In general, the problem with Common Core and No Child Left Behind is that the Feds just laid a template across all of the states. They made a giant pile of rules and then tied Federal funding to those rules. This creates a disjointed and ineffective curriculum as well as burdensome and unfair regulations for the states.

I was a big fan of both of these programs until it was really proven that they don't work. For a variety of reasons (mostly bureaucratic inefficiency) they don't work... so... it is best to just kill them and try something else. Even the idea of simply letting the States compete on education programs between each other is a better solution.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. We have had a lovely day at home, with lobster tails for lunch. I'm skipping dinner since I'm completely stuffed.

Perhaps there's imminent danger of a Common Core breach, venting antimatter into the curriculum?

Standards would be fine. Adaptable standards. My own theory is that Common Core was meant to diminish the gap between boys and girls in math by various methods. Suffice to say in my district scores are dropping.

From my understanding the goal of common core was to get kids to understand "math theory" as opposed to just brute force memorizing tables.

Perhaps. It was also a way to add layers of words to math problems that frequently make the problems inscrutable to even the teachers. Nor does it seem to help with theory, as they demand a very specific way of achieving the solution that often ignores more intuitive or straightforward methods.

The curriculum is crap, as the problems often leave out necessary information or the answers in the key have nothing to do with the problem. Some of the ideas are sound, but the implementation was rushed and slipshod. Kids using it hitting college math seem to be foundering.

[Sunder]

Having not deeply investigated common core, going just by the little I've seen and heard, it comes off as the sort of program you might find in some magnet school which works very well there because the people who developed and understand the system are the same ones implementing it. But it's really hard to franchise that out to the entire country all at once.

I hope that Carrier also sets up a successful GoFundMe account to cover for his legal expenses. I'm rooting for a long litigation that makes them face off one another through a series of inconveniences, until they're both without any support in their communities of fans since everyone is disgusted by the fact that they only seem to care about themselves and their trial.

Basically I'm rooting for the lawyers.

I don't understand what the problem with Common Core is. Is it the principle of having standards or how they've been applied?

Most school districts dont update their textbook (which cost $$$$$) very often. Common Core set uniform standards across the nation. This prompted many school districts to update their school books to newer ones that covered the Common Core standards. This led two two problems: (a) a number of the new text books were rushed to meet the demand and therefore had a number of errors and (b) education experts change the way they think things should be taught every so often, and a number of these changes were often reflected in the new text books. (Although not mandated by Common Core, which does not specify how material should be taught.) An example of this that is often complained about on social media is the new methods of teaching math, led by the Everyday Math curriculum from U Chicago.

Whether or not the Common Core standards are effective in improving education is somewhat besides the point and not something that the average person has much information on. What they see is errors in text books and new strange ways of teaching things, and these changes came in with Common Core, and as we all know correlation = causation, so its Common Core's fault. The irony, of course, is that while adding standards causes districts to update their textbooks, there is no incentive for a school to change their text books in response to the removal of a standard. So repealing Common Core will likely not have any effect on the problems that most people complaining think are the result of Common Core.

I think lawyers win those cases by default, little to no stake and just some paperwork that can be filled by inters. I worked for a lawyering firm, the most seniors lawyers did in cases like those was putting their signature on and maybe attending on or two hearings. Easy money.

There is an obvious preferred pathway. Carrier gets a million dollars. Spends it fucking FtB and Orbit into the ground and then fades back into the weeds of obscurity. Ein Vernichtungskrieg.

Failing that we can only hope for the maximum spend and pain for both sides. To that end Carrier needs the support of his allies. I just can't figure out who they might be?

From my understanding the goal of common core was to get kids to understand "math theory" as opposed to just brute force memorizing tables.

This being what I was talking about. Common Core standards are things like:

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.¹
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.1
Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.2
Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.3
Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 (e.g., 9 × 80, 5 × 60) using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

Much of the effort to get kids to understand "math theory" has been led by UofC's EverydayMath which predates Common Core by a considerable amount, however, as I mentioned, because textbooks arent updated often, most people didnt see this "New Math" until districts updated to new textbooks, which many did in response to the CC standards. But EM and similar methods is by no means required by Common Core.

I must disagree. In addition to the rushed implementation, there is not enough empirical data that indicates it really works as advertised. It also stifles individual approaches to education and seems to take a tabla rasa attitude towards students. Individual learning styles are ignored, and whether that can be fixed with a more reasoned style of implementation is an open question.

It seems to me that they found something that worked in some areas and rushed to declare it was the New Best Thing. There should have been better studies and a more forthright approach to differences in students and student intelligence. They certainly should have taken into account that teaching styles vary widely and many of the differences are due to the teacher and not necessarily the method used to teach. Treating both teachers and students as cogs is bound to produce fail.

Im not sure what you are disagreeing with. Your comments seem completely orthogonal to mine. From some of your earlier comments, it seems you are not a fan of the Everyday Math program and its derivatives. Personally, I like the way it is taught in my kids school district, but on a more global scale, I can also recognize that the data is fairly ambivalent on if it provides better outcomes. So you are welcome to not like it. My point above is that it is not mandated by Common Core. It came in to many school districts at the same time as Common Core because Common Core required an updating of textbooks and Everyday Math was the Hot Trend In Education at the time that was done. IOW, eliminating Common Core will do fuck-all about changing whether or not Everyday Math approaches will be used. Particularly since eliminating a standard is unlikely to prompt school districts to spend money to get new school books the way adding a standard would. And it is still the current trend in education circles. So disagree with it all you want, but realize what you are disagreeing with is something different than Common Core.

While it may be true that Common Core is a very good program, the problem arises from Federal mandates in general. For a variety of reasons, American schools don't do a good job implementing Federal mandates in a productive and efficient way. This is really not the problem of any single group, but it is a practical reality. The Feds shoving rules down on the states just doesn't work. States should be encouraged to compete with each other to make creative solutions to the challenge of public education. This is very unpopular to the left because it is unfair to many students in poor states. The thing is that the Feds always make every state spend more and get worse results.

If the Feds want to make things fair they should give more Federal funding to poor states.... which is already done to some extent.

Typically, the alt-right are crowing (even though they protest when SJWs demand people are fired for mean Tweets), and the SJWs are crying that the joke was fair and square (a complete reversal of their position).

It is a fucked up world, at the moment.
