Wait. Is Pearson claiming that this stuff is the Common Core????

{patiently}

Pearson is one of the main architects (er-- or is the term really "archetypes" I do get those confused these days)....

of Common Core.

Oh dear. If they were claiming this at her school, it's no wonder she was saying it was crap.

This kind of thing is precisely what I fear most about the Common Core: smart, knowledgeable people worked very hard to create a set of standards...and people who are interested in the wrong sorts of things are going to make a dog's dinner out of them.

Oh, this sucks. And the worst part is that the Common Core will get the blame.
