In the local school district there is a lot of controversy about the Common Core Standards. Missy, a parent of a preschooler, is also concerned about the CCS. She writes a letter to the editor of the local newspaper voicing her concerns and opposition to CCS. All of the following are in the letter except which of these?
◦ Standards promote traditional back-to-basics approach at the expense of a play-based and child-centered curriculum.
◦ Standards lead to an overemphasis on assessment and testing.
◦ Standards create uniformity in schools regardless of location.
◦ Standards focus on academics at the expense of social and emotional development.
