The Randy Dorn Love Train...
....is steaming full-bore through the comments section of this article at the Seattle Times.
My beef with the national core standards is the loss of local control--these might compare to or even be better than we have now, but will they always?--and the constant changing of the standards dictates a constant changing of the test, which means that you lose the ability to really compare kids, schools, and teachers from year to year.
If we don't get through the Race to the Top first round tomorrow, we will have adopted these standards for *nothing*.
