My daughter was in Kindergarten this past school year. I liked the idea of having higher standards for the kids. She knows the majority of the parts of speech, how to read, write 4-8 sentences on a topic, addition and subtraction tables up to 10 and even some multiplication in there.
The thing that I didn't like about it was the implementation of it. My daughter was introduced to it in Kindergarten so she wasn't taught any differently. These kids that were in 2nd, 3rd, etc. they were having to play catch up and so were the teachers. It seemed like it needed to take 13 years to fully implement and start with the Kindergartners and work their way up.

Solid argument.

I agree with this. It should have been gradually introduced to older kids. My son struggled with it a lot last year, but turned a corner this year. My daughter started kindergarten last year and has done really well with it.
This just shows how powerful a few wingnuts spreading lies and propaganda can be.

I think you make a valid point. HOWEVER, if you have something that everyone thinks will dramatically improve education, then you want everyone to take advantage of it as soon as possible.
Doing a 13 year implentation (i.e. starting in K and adding a grade per year) basically relegates the first graders in the first year to 12 years of lower standards, etc.
I think the best way was what they did - implement it for everyone, know that the score are going to take a hit, and focus everything you can on catch up. This is also why some of the high-stakes were removed in the first couple of years.
