Jason,
Do you ever try to call in and ask these questions directly?
Now if only good God-fearing, (fertilized) egg loving, homo hating, gun-toting, white Anglo Saxon Christian men and their submissive wives could redeem those school vouchers at gun shows, all would be well.
Ms. Woods views on the Common Core standards are off base and without foundation. She will tell everyone that the Common Core is a federal government plot to take over our K-12 school system. The truth is about 45 states banded together to develope and support the Common Core standards. The standards were not developed at the behest of the Obama administraiton or any of the federal executive agencies. One of the primary pruposes of the standards is to insure colleges and universities know what they are getting when a student applies for admission from high school. For example, if a student at Denver East High School applies to Duke University and the applicant has been met the common core standards, Duke knows what they are getting.
The standards are a practical way to insure students meet a certain benchmark of knowledge for their coming life and it gives institutions of higher education a yardstick to judge prospective freshmen. The conservative paranoia over the standards is just another one of their conspiracy theories that has nothing to support it.

Kind of . . . governers with a push from private foundations decided to start working together on common standards.

Schools already had the SAT and ACT for most of this. The biggest challenge was not having writing on those tests.
Don't get me wrong, the standards aren't the issue to me. My issue is how will the standards be used? Who is making money off of them (testing companies, curriculum development, technology complanies, etc.) and to what beneft? The last is using high-stakes tests (part of Common Core or not) being used to evaluate teachers when evidence is clear is that students' scores is not a valid indicator of teacher effectiveness.
