My wife has a Masters and has been in education for 23 years. CC is far more than "simply a baseline",it also involves significant data collection on every student to be tracked from K thru college.
Math ....it's not the answer it's the steps used, same with division . A right answer is wrong without the "steps" and a wrong answer is right with the "steps". Why does my daughter need to know 4 different ways to multiply in a 7 day timeframe ?
If you think it's just a baseline ... it's also tied in to "AGENDA 21". Research this .
