Whats so very infuriating about all of this is that teachers are being excluded from the conversation at every step — from the writing of the CCSS, to the top-down implementation of them, to the lack of any avenue to provide feedback on their inappropriateness and change them, to how our students are assessed on the standards, and yes, to the Oct. 26 editorial. With all due respect, stop pontificating on that about which you know nothing. Invite us to the table. Listen to what we have to say. We are, after all, the ones dealing with the standards, teaching them to our students, and doing our best to shield them from the unnecessary stress that developmentally inappropriate standards inevitably produce. gainesville/article/20141102/OPINION03/141039944/-1/opinion03?p=3&tc=pg
