Yes, I can agree that all three of the Common Core ("CC") articles were well written (well said). Some of the points made may eventually prove to be valid. I do think the CC "well" has been poisoned to the detriment of any meaningful, rational conversation being able to take place. The ability of any two interest groups to convene, meet, sit down, and discuss anything (other than their own biased talking points) is a fiction in our current political and social climate.
I do have one disagreement with Bill Bennett's assertion that (just) because something predated the establishment of the CC, then that thing, therefore, cannot possibly be part of the CC. My point would go to Assessments and the 4-point scoring system, which was initially part of NCLB, but which has been carried forward into the CC Assessment scoring system.
Saying something "well" does not make what has been well said correct, or credible.
Best regards,
Chris Wendt

I have to say that I have been visiting this site for a while and just joined because you finally captured everything that I think about what you usually have to say in a single sentence- "Saying something "well" does not make what has been well said correct, or credible." Thanks.

Good ideas poorly articulated may lose impact or be misunderstood. The very best ideas will not have any impact at all if they are never expressed.
Feel free to challenge any of my ideas by putting forth your own ideas...so a discussion may ensue.
