Unfortunately, there are more than a few Texas school districts that *ARE* teaching to Common Core standards. If you have elementary age kids, check their homework. I suspect you will get an unpleasant surprise.
When asked, the standard educator response about tested and vetted sounds like the answers given about "Whole Language". Since that went so well I can see why we want to do something similar < /s >
the SBOE might have said no to Common Core but the whole CSCOPE thing showed how easy it was for school districts to come up with and share Common Core type teaching materials behind the SBOE’s back
thank God my kids are grown. I’ve got a kid thats a teacher, I guess I’ll be asking then. I seen a website that said Texas rejected it, so my assumption was common core was a no go statewide.
thanks for the info
