South Carolina’s department of education staff have pulled yet another trick from the Common Core bag to confuse parents and legislators. It has created such a lengthy list of comparative standards that it will take teachers or legislators years to figure out that the proposed standards are only a slightly disguised version of Common Core’s. In addition, it offers dozens of seeming standards that begin with non-assessable and non-teachable words like “employ,” “use strategies to,” “value,” “expand,” “explore,” “deepen,” “ask,” “focus,” “broaden,” “transact,” “engage in,” “develop,” “acknowledge,” “communicate,” “adjust,” and “create.” Who could be against expecting students to expand, explore, and create? These types of expectations, however, are not academic standards.
