Education Without "Stuff"

15. Eventually.

Common Core shows up about halfway through the post. And given that the poster goes on to say

The Common Core State Standards are neither terrible nor spectacular. They have some decent ideas, imperfectly articulated.

It doesn't even specifically slam Common Core entirely. And I agree with that part of the post. The idea of national standards, rather than state or district standards that can vary wildly does seem like a useful idea. I just feel that development of CC and curricula to implement it should be left to actual teachers. Lessons that fulfill the standards should be written by teachers, vetted by teachers, and should be shared, free of charge, between districts.
